Hi I am very new to this forum and also a very new diabetic, been only for around 3 months. Very skinny so I have 6mm cannula with the Quick Set. I do not understand how the scar tissue builds up more with this set than with needles? I also am afraid if I do get a set with needles that the other end of the needle could come back out of the skin at a different spot? Also that the needle may possibly go into the muscles of the abdomen. Lastly, I have read many things of bent needles going into the skin...this sounds very painful? is it? I'd like to know if the cannula is less painful or just plain better than the needle? or maybe there is a better insertion set with cannulas...having a needle in me all the time sounds very uncomfortable. Thnx!
