I then switched to the Silhouettes, which scared the **** out of me when I first saw them. Even scarier was the Serter device. I dreaded every site change, especially when my Serter jammed. One day I got brave and did it manually, and it was horrible. Went back to the Serter, then got brave again. After the second manual insertion I forgot all about the Serter.

The silhouettes are kind of intimidating aren't they? After all these needles and infusion sets, both before and after the pumps, Nancy still flinches when she gets ready to do a site change.
But they work. Nancy is using areas of her body now that were just about totally unreliable before.
At 1st the serter was too clumsy, then she used it - then went manual again - then the serter, and after too many bent needles is going manual. It doesn't look like you have the control you need with the serter. The finesse.
