No wonder the entry "wound" is nearly imperceptible when using Sure-T's and the comfort is fantastic. I'd never have thought a steel needle were surpass a soft cannula in comfort. I just finished up 4 days with a Sure-T. No soreness, even when pushing hard on the set. My Soft Sets would sometimes cause soreness when touched.

Try 'em--you might like 'em (available only for Paradigms) <g>

I am interested in trying them. I'm worried about the short needle length, though. I never used short syringes or pen needles, but I also weighed a lot more when I was on injections. I'd really like the convenience of a 90 degree insertion again.

These sets are available for every other pump under the name Contact. I think those even come in different needle lengths.

Yes they come longer. I like the short needle.
