On new omnipod 5 insulin pump for 2.5 months now.Got an error message on the controller in the middle of the night during a bolus to correct a blood sugar of about 175: omnipod 5 memory corruption.It required a hard reset of the omnipod controller that erased all of my history and settings to manage insulin delivery.The insulin pump (pod) i was wearing also had to be discarded because it ceased communication with the controller.As a result, it took over an hour to reset the controller and put all of the settings back in, not to mention having to prematurely replace my insulin pod.This has set me back 2.5 months because the system 'learns' from your use.Additionally, i'm out 1 pod + 3 days of insulin since the pod i was wearing had to be replaced with a new one filled with new insulin.Hopefully this is a rare event & will not happen again; if it does, i will not continue to use this device.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
