Unpackage Inset II spring loaded cannula applicator with Marine-Corps-like regimen.
Swab target area with antiseptic wipe
Note position of current cannula and plan clockwise rotation for next site
LOCK AND LOAD applicator!!!
Apply applicator to target area
FIRE!
Applicator falls off. Hmm
Inspect applicator. Introducer needle does not appear to be bent.
Diabetes Devil on Shoulder: "Throw it away, use another one!"
NHS Taxpayer Angel on Other Shoulder" "It's not damaged, it's fine, treat your precious free medical care with respect"
Decide to Be A Good Taxpayer (as opposed to a Good Diabetic)
LOCK AND LOAD applicator!!!
Apply applicator to target area
FIRE!
Applicator falls off.
Take a REALLY good look at needle. It seems fine. But surely at this point there is some kind of internal damage?
Diabetes Angel on Shoulder: "Throw it away, use another one, don't take risks with your health!"
NHS Devil on Other Shoulder" "Don't you dare chuck that, you bloody sponging parasite!"
Decide to Be A Bad Diabetic and a Good Taxpayer
LOCK AND LOAD applicator!!!

Take another look at applicator
Remove the bloody waxpaper from the bloody adhesive!!!!!
