Hi, how often do people change their cannula site, every 2 or 3 days ?, I think I find on the third day I tend to rise a bit

Being type 1, my health and what really grates me are false people who make themselves out to be something when their not

Same as CarbsRok. And - naughty as this is - I have forgotten before, and left them a day longer. I'm lucky in that my BS doesn't rise, but if it did start to rise before the prescribed change day, I'd change earlier.
