I just started putting tegaderm under the set before I insert it, and it works so great! What I do is I put IV Prep on first and let it dry. Then, put the tegaderm over that, and then just insert the infusion set right through the tegaderm. I was worried at first because I didn't want to have it snag the cannula or anything like that. But, my dr is on a pump too, and that is what he does. He recommended it to me. It is really a great way to do it
