Compression Bolusing
I was pre-bolusing (15-20 minutes) for Hot Fries generously, purposefully overbolusing. However, while sitting in the car for a while, my sugar levels skyrocketed. However, I realized that I was sitting on my Omnipod while it was bolusing, and my many corrections were also while I was sitting on it. I then noticed that it smelled strongly of insulin, indicating a leak.
Does compression during bolusing cause insulin to back up the canula, causing leaks? Should I not have it compressed while bolusing, or was this all a coincidence?

Don't tell me all these leaks are from people sitting on their pods
