| Hi Clays mum,
Yes I've tried one of those. it took me ages to track one down & no one had heard of them. they are mainly used for younger children who might find needles upsetting. I am probably the only adult in the entire world who has tried this. They are like an infusion set. although I have to confess I've never actually seen an infusion set other than pictures, so not able to compare size most importantly.
I tried one before switching from twice daily shots to avoid more of them, but have to confess it looks rather alarming after an 8mm needle! so it took a few days to get up the courage to try it. in the end I decided the shots weren't such a big deal. I think the device is not as comfortable as a proper infusion set so I don't know how it would go long term. Also it got uncomfortable by the 4th day so think every 3 days would be more like it. My frank opinion is that you would be better to just go straight onto the pump if that's what you're considering.
