Hi everyone,
I have been Type 1 Diabetic for 25+ years and have been using the Accu-Chek Insight pump for almost 2 years now. Before this I was using pens.
This is my first ever post on a diabetes forum because I am having serious issues when changing my infusion set. I would say that 50% of the cannulas that I use do not allow insulin through and I sometimes have to change the set up to 3 times before I get one that works and starts to lower my BG.
I have done a google search for known issues but can’t find too much info.
Does anyone else find this issue? Am I just doing something really stupid?
I am starting to consider ditching my pump because it is so unreliable and I am getting worried every time that I need to change it. It’s not right that my BG spikes half of the time that I change it because it simply does not do its job.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! Or even just to know that I’m not the only one!
Thanks
