Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snapsy" data-source="post: 1221478" data-attributes="member: 265172">Lump on belt, [USER=17713]@donnellysdogs[/USER]  - sounds like a good term for it, with the way it's behaving!I've only ever used the Flex Link cannulas - I think they're the 'standard' ones - well, they were the only ones we were offered at our pump start.One of the guys in my pump gang tried the angled ones - Tenderlink, I think they're called - and reported that they would very easily come out, so he went back to using the Flex (which he didn't have a problem with - he was just wanting to try other options just to see).I find the 6mm Link sets I use very comfy and easy and problem free. For my first ever one I used an 8mm which was agony as I'm thinner than that! Have had a couple of bruises but only due to daft site choices (up by my ribs was just a stupid idea!). But mostly I've been very happy and confident with the whole shabang.And it sounds like confidence is what you're lacking with the belt lump you're on right now - we have to trust these bits of kit after all, so if it's not right then it's not right!Hope you're able to cope with it while you're exploring other options - I'm sure the Accuchek contact will be able to offer some support perhaps in their direction. And it's brilliant that your CCG are being contacted thanks to your contact with the APPG for Diabetes et al  - I have got everything crossed for you to get a) a pump that is right for you and b) a CGM.Hang on in there - and I hope you have a much better night tonight. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
