Learning lots here, it felt like I was the only diabetic to have trouble with infusion sets. I started on the pump (Paradigm 522) March 19/07 and basically, what could have gone wrong has gone wrong for me since then. Tried 9mm Quick Sets, Sure-T's, 13mm AND 17mm Silhouettes with limited success (only one worked for 3 days in 7 weeks). Tried stomach, legs, behind, didn't have "No delivery" alarm or visible cannula bending (except for a couple) so appears to be absorption issue (doc doesn't agree with Medtronic that I must have scar tissue).
I've been type 1 since Nov '85 for the record. I'm leaner than most and muscular from cycling to work so that appears to be a problem also which limits my choice of sites.
I've asked for samples of the 6mm Quick Set (currently using 17mm Sil. in stomach) to use in my legs/behind areas as other sets don't seem to work or bend. For a leaner person like myself, is it better to use a greater angle when inserting a Silhouette set? Or a reduced angle? My pump trainer isn't real experienced so I'm looking for info here instead of from her.  |
