I keep hitting blood capillaries

... Which means I get poor insulin absorption and ending up waking to stupidly high and unexpected bg's.
Is it worth trying shorter sets?
Thanks Paul

I've never done this so I'm honestly not too sure but shorter sets does sound like the way to go, what size are you using?

Which sets are you using? Are you on the slimmer side...? Silhouettes (which are also called comfort or tender depending on your pump) can help overcome this I think....

Also where are you putting them? The stomach area is a lot more prone to this. Plus if you are inserting when you are hot it increases chances.

I'm using 9mm paradigm set around stomach and sides.

I would change to 6mm as a starting point and see how you get on.
