Found out some other important things that I thought other user should know if you don't already - bare in kind we're quite new to the pump1. Tubing should be changed every time insulin is changed, and not every 6 days as we were initially told. This prevents the pin in the connector from being blunt and causing a larger hole in the next vial of insulin which in turn can cause leakages. 2. A maximum of 5 units of insulin should go through cannula at any one time. So multi wave should be used. This is due to the fact that the teflon isn't as strong as steel needle used in pens. 3. In some instances the cannula might only last two and not three days. Anyhow. Thought I'd share.</blockquote>
