[QUOTE="iHs, post: 903685, member: 8799"] The 30 degree angle sets will leave a tiny red hole mark when pulling the cannula out after 3 or 4 days but there's not a lot you can do except dab a bit of pure tea tree oil on the hole as that should help speed up the healing so that the hole mark fades after 4 or 5 days. The 90 degree sets have a shorter and thinner cannula so tend leave only a tiny hole mark. As for fish n chips.......how much to bolus upfront and how much to delay is down to bg testing and trial and error. Someone told me to have a go with 30/70 over 2hrs so you could try that to see what happens and adjust it for next time round if you need to. nd [/QUOTE]
