How many times
1 riped out the infusion site by accident
2 dropped on floor

1 <---this is the 1st time today and man did it suck b/c i had to re do it and then it wouldnt let me fill the tube b/c the cartridge was low enough to not work with it. ugh pita (pain in the a$$)
2 <--once a day or more lol

1-0 (have not had this happen just yet)

2- 3 times.. Walked off holding my cell think I had my pump in my hand :trytofly:

[koblenz]

Never ripped one out. (knock on wood)

Dropped it to the length of the tubing quite a few times.

Don't you just love that momentary panic feeling you get when you know it's falling and you are just waiting to see what happens!

On the dropping it item. Been there done that.
I have continually set my pump on a counter, in the bathroom, bedroom on a dresser, and in the kitchen counter. and I keep forgetting I did not re-clip it onto my cloths. So far nothing has come undone, but it has hit the floor many a time.
Very nerve wracking experiences!

i've never had a site ripped out ... thank god. that would hurt so much since it takes me forever to get them out when its time for a site change. the tape on the quicksets is seriously sticky, at least for me anyways.

i probably drop my pump several times a week. especially if i'm wearing it in a pants pocket, it always seems to be making a run for it!

Does anybody use a "safety loop"?

1 has happened once. But it wasn't me, it was my cat :eek: My pump did a bungyjump from my pocket and my cat was there faster than anything else and just pulled the set out :hmmmm2:

2 happens at least once every day when i'm on the pump :smile: Though it never actually hits the floor since i'm using the 60cm tubing :aetsch:

I've never ripped one out....... yet.

I've dropped my pump a few times in the last 8 months, but it's never hit the floor as I use the short tubing.

How low does the cartridge have to be for the pump to not let you prime the new infusion set? And what happens if you run out of insulin before your infusion site is due for a change?

[am1977]

Ripped out infusion site?... Maybe 2 or 3 times in the past. :fisheye:
Dropped pump?...Way too many times to count! :eek:

my cozmo is set to beep at 20units for low cartridge. to prime the tubing it takes about 14 untits or so and the cannula is .7 your should have an alert on ur pump depending which one you have that tells you when you are low and need to refill.

i use a 1.10 basal rate so thats like 26.4 units a day i think so i was going to take it down low before i changed it but couldnt.

[Zokes]

Mine ripped out once. It was more frustrating than painful.
Never dropped it (yet).

One time (5 minutes after changing site) I got tubing caught in car door. The tubing is esilient but no match for a door slam!

[UCOChick]

I rip one out about every other week...Its very frustrating..ugh

[Belinda]

Too often to think....my favorite is a day at the pool and it comes unglued itself...(it is probably after wearing it for 4 days and it is a sign I need to change it) :vroam:
