I have the Medtronic mini med paradigm pump and use metronic quick set paradigm 9mm. Ive had really high sugars and ketones all day. When changing my set (which I have done five times now) I have noticed the canula is kinked hence the high sugars and ketones.
When I first started the pump I had the same problem with 5mm quick sets but this seemed resolved when I changed over to 9mm.
I have recently lost a stone could this be someyhing to do with it?
If not does anyone know why this keeps happening or has it happened.to them?
Is there anyway to tell if the canula is kinked before or while inserting/inserted.
Im at the hospital atm and really really want to go home which. I'm allowed to if I can solve this kinking problem.
Also just incase can someone explain the routine when disconnecting from the Pump and going back to basal bolus injections please.
Any help Will be most appreciated
