[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 208793, member: 12578"] I'm another one who always changes a set before a meal. I don't think anyone ever told me to do this but I've just found it works better for me. I think the larger amount of insulin with a meal seems to make the new site 'active' quicker. The second reason is that I only take around 0.4u an hour for much of the day. At that level of basal it would take many hours of non delivery to trigger an alarm. If I give a bolus and the cannula was badly kinked etc I'd get an alarm straight away. [/QUOTE]
