[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 899599, member: 94348"] Yes, that is what hospitals show. i showed my nurse years ago and she was very interested to see alternative methods, i think it is a matter of what works for each person. The tape shouldn't feel as if it is pressing on the needle, it sits flat over, it may be the set is not put in flat, see technique above. Yesterday after i had the hurried midriff insertion of set, i was tired, was sitting on a train, and bent to pick something up and got the sharp pain and saw i had inserted not quite flat on the skin, put tape on, checked, and saw it could not work, skin not flat enough, and had to do another set , unusual, but it happens. Its when i am tired/ill and not 100% concentrating on the tedium of set insertion. [/QUOTE]
