Hi all
I've been on a pump now for about 7 years now, but have never had what my dsn calls a pump holiday. I know there are lots of advantages of having a pump particularly with the ability to micro manage your insulin levels, but right now getting the cannula in the right place is a nightmare. For me it's stressful enough just trying to put one cannula in, but I am having to use two or three each time, just to get it in the right place. I've had enough, so I'm going to return to mdi for a bit, has anyone had the same experience with the cannulas and/or if you tried having a pump holiday, how did you get on? Thanks for looking at this post, I'm looking forward to a time when I'm not constantly attached !
