[QUOTE="azure, post: 918306, member: 39639"] It depends what sets you're using. I use Rapid D with the steel needle. I insert the set myself. I twist round slowly, pinch up the skin at the top of my bum and push the needle in. The only problem I've had is when I've put a set too low or too high. For me, there's a band round my knicker line that works. Other areas don't. I used to use Tenderlinks which have a plastic cannula and go in at an angle.nagain, I put them in myself. I found these slightly tricker as I had to put the introducer needle straight across ie parallel to to the floor. I also found the Teflon cannula bent sometimes. I've never had a needle one come out. Do you put yours in a similar place to me? [/QUOTE]
