nevada replied to Jim's discussion 'New pod failures' in the group OmniPod Users"I have to ask...why? Some have blogged about holding the pod at different angles to 'let the air out', but this is the first I have heard about always keeping the pod level. Did you eliminate 'screamers'? Does this help with the…"
