I can see that my detachable fitting on my set has a seal like the top of an insulin vial, meaning it is waterproof. My set itself sticks VERY well after using an IV Prep with the slightly sticky alcohol and never gets loose unless I accidentally scrape it.
When do I use the IV covers?

PS: Progress report on my 3 month old Cozmo: Wow! A1c counts are down to 6.5, a 2.5 point difference. I am finally getting used to being tethered. A longer tube helped, I can put it down while I get dressed. Inserting the infusion set is now as routine as lots of "little sticks" used to be.
It seems to be working well for me after MANY years of MDIs. | You didn't tell us what set you are using. |
