Hi, thank you all for the previous pump help. I'm on the Medtronic pump so use the paradigm mio cannula and was wondering if people had experienced it bending during use? As in all goes in okay, works fine for a day or two and then bends and you only realise with rising blood sugars?

I also don't know if I'm just being paranoid as this is all so new for me!!

Thank you for the help

registrars asking silly questions
I have had this but more with silhouettes which become dislodged and sometimes lodge back again. As my nurse friend put it when i was moaning about siting one in the muscle "it's hard to keep things in subcutaneous ". If you're on day 2 i'd put a new set in.
