Message: <blockquote data-quote="MushyPeaBrain" data-source="post: 202982" data-attributes="member: 27914">I did my set change today and tried a new area. I always use my stomach and hips and decided to be brave and try the part below the stomach and just above the bikini line as I have heard people say this is good. Fired in no problem but sugars weren't right and then got an occulsion alarm during bolus (which in my case always happens when cannula is kinked).Anyway reconnected to old set and will just leave that in for another day. My kinking issues are rare these days due to storing my sets in the fridge. However some areas of my stomach, like this one, are curved rather than flat and I wonder if this partly causes the kink. I always stand to insert, using a firing device (Inset II). Does anyone lie down? Any success/problems with this? Any other tips for firing into non flat areas?  :lol:</blockquote>
