Stiff insets

[MushyPeaBrain]

My latest batch of inset IIs are really stiff. They are much harder to pull back and you have to squeeze very hard to fire. Anyone else finding this?

I thought the same with the last two I used, but my hands have been a bit gammy, so blamed it on that. Will keep an eye on the next few set changes to see if they are the same.

I felt the same but thought it was just nerves because I'm still weary of the cannula inserted.

I've had no bother with any of mine since. (Touch wood!)

Animas admitted there is a problem with some and have exchanged a box for me. They will only exchange one box at a time though. A friend of mine is so fed up with the decline in quality she has changed to another brand of pump. I stupidly locked in for another 4 years

Funny as I currently have the same problem with a batch of silouhette cannulas. I almost feel as if I'm pulling the whole thing out as I try and squeeze to withdraw it. Anyone with problems hand because of things like arthritis etc. and it would be a real problem. I'm always feared that I pull so hard the inserter needle will snap in me!

Good to know. I'll keep it in mind in case I've any other bother with them.

Maybe a little stiffer lately, yes. But not impossibly so.
