Just wondering anyone on insight pump notice that they not sticking as good as they use to or is it just me?
Or if they do stick good the needle is stuck so you have to rip the whole thing of =.=
 
I've always used these and not noticed any different, for me they are hard to get off after 2-3 days, never had any issue with them staying on.

I know some frown upon it - but I always clean skin first with a sterets swab.

will see next time if they help =p
 
Funny that, I thought and complained to Accuchek that I though the glue on the combo accuchek rapid d's was less sticky than it was previously... it was supposedly listed as a moan but initially I just mentioned it in passing when I was having all my troubles this Aug-Nov....

Worthwhile mentioning to them.

Hi - yes I have noticed this lately. Last week this happened twice & pierced my skin so I bled all over a new top Tried 3 cannulas! I think I'll mention to Roche when I ring for more supplies!

Please do mention to the technical team as they have to log and report etc...
 
I've only had a couple that haven't stuck so far and a couple that came loose after an hour or two but apart from that it's like having a wax strip pulled off lol
