I solved my Mobi occlusion problem
And honestly I'm not happy about it. This may not solve YOUR Mobi occlusion issue, but it so clearly solved mine that I have to share about it (and apologize!).
Like a lot of other people, I started having frequent occlusion alarms on my Mobi. It didn't seem to matter if the site was new or old, and on the few occasions where I actually took the site off, it was never bent. I'd get the alarm, resume insulin, re-start my bolus (because it almost always occurred during a bolus) and I'd be fine. Sometimes I had to make several attempts before a bolus would go through, but eventually it always would.
I called customer service about it almost a year ago, and they had me go through all the troubleshooting, of course my site was fine, etc etc. They wouldn't replace the pump at that point. So months go by, with the false occlusions happening periodically, but I was generally too annoyed or too busy to bother calling them again. About a month ago, it was happening over and over so I called it in. They can see my data in Source so there was no sense telling a tale (haha), I am diligent about changing my site every 3 days, but I would fill the cartridge and only change when empty, which was more like every 5 days. Of course, they suggested that I put less insulin in the cartridge and change both site and cartridge every 3 days. And since then, I have not had another false occlusion alarm.
So, yeah. For all the times I said to other people, "don't worry about changing your cartridge every 3 days", I'm sorry, that was bad advice. I definitely think the Mobi is more sensitive than the t:slim (I did the same practice on that pump, but never had false occlusions). I'm glad to have the problem solved, but annoyed that it was sort of my fault in the first place.
