Omni pod dash

Does anyone have the omnipod dash? I have been on it since the summer and it has really improved my HBA1C, however I am now having quite a lot of pod failures which is frustrating. I am a larger amount of insulin than ideal for the dash, however am not keen on any of the other pumps so am aware that won’t help! Has anyone else had this issue with the dash?

The annoying thing is even the new Omnipod doesn’t have a higher capacity. By the end of my pregnancy they wouldn’t even last me 2 days. There aren’t other tubeless options though :( before I switched to the omnipod 5 I had a lot of pod occlusion alarms or app failed alarms which I’m still getting now

It’s not so much the capacity as although it’s not ideal I always knees I’d have to change it more, but the leaking is just a nightmare and when googling it doesn’t seem to be an uncommon issue! As when it happens will send my blood sugar high and then tricky to get back down as it’s obviously unclear how much insulin has actually been absorbed. I feel if it keeps happening I’ll have to go back to injections as I just don’t feel the tube options would work for my lifestyle x
