Hi guys,
Well finally got my accu chek combo pump yesterday (woohoo) and have opted for the Rapid-D Link Infusion set. have no probs using the steel cannula and having to change that every 1 to 2 days HOWEVER my first cannula change this evening was not easy. I inserted the new one before taking the old one out with no glitches but when it came to removing the old one, it was so so painful. Still smarting some 50 mins later. We weren't told if there is a knack to removing them, so my question is.......are there any tips you guys could give me?
I have heard talk of lift off wipes/sprays....should I be using this at all?
Any advice is more than welcome
Thanks
Dani
