My wife is T1 diabetic and has the Tslim pump. When there is an occlusion at the infusion site insulin stops being delivered and blood glucose goes high. It never occurred to me that a pump might fail in a way to give her too much insulin...

A friend's coworker had their pump lock on, and inject the entire reservoir of insulin into them. They were discovered in their home by the police after family members lost contact. No idea if it was an Omnipod, but I would hope that all insulin pumps have a separate watchdog circuit to prevent this.

While I don't have diabetes, I will be getting an advance directive made. This was horrifying.
