After reading several alarming posts about the Cleos I was hesitant to use them. These things aren't free for me so I don't want to waste my money on a crappy set. Well, the Cleos are doing a good job so far. I just use the IV prep pad sold from Smiths and they seem to stick really well. I do think they are worth a shot if you want to try em out. Insertion is so easy.

Exclamation Polyfin Help

I've been using the Silhouette for a long time, but today I received samples of the polyfin to try out on my legs. Can someone tell me how to insert them? They didn't come with adequate directions.

HELP PLEASE!

Thanks

I've not tried them but there is a very brief animation on the MM site here...

Thank you. I had a few questions that I was able to answer with the link to Minimed.

to be honest i think they either suite you or they don't...

i find them usless but i sweat a lot and they just seem to pull of very easily (on my clothes or even when i'm sleeping) despite useing iv prep.

but i know other people who love them and have no worries. it's you call really. worth a try definatley, because they are easy to use and not at all painfull...
