Hi
So I am on an insulin pump and have been for 3 years. I have always had problems when using the tenderlink cannula's (teflon based) which unfortunately are the only ones I can use in my stomach. Needing to give my legs a rest I used a tenderlink in my stomach twice last week, managing 12 hours with each before having to take them out. I suffered the worst reactions I have had although both of these have now cleared up. However I took a rapid D out of my leg on Saturday and the site has got worse and worse since. It is currently red hot, really inflamed with a limp that seems to be getting bigger and incredibly sore to the point I'm actually struggling to walk. I have an appointment tomorrow but it isn't til 3pm and I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar and found anything to help soothe it? I've been in bed a few hours and can't sleep because of it
