Dear Friends
I wonder if anyone might have some advice for me? I have been using my pump for three years now and i have been having problems with my infusion sites for over a year. I favour my stomach area but have used the love handles as well. My problem is that after having a set in for 24 hours it starts to bleed. It occasionally bleeds back into the tube but most of the time it bleeds onto the sticky patch. I have tried different infusion sets and different lengths of needle. It doesn't seem to matter where I put it, it still happens. I rang Accu Check support who advised that I just have to change it daily but this leaves me with less sites to work with. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, what do you do? Thanks in anticipation.
