Hi, how often do people change their cannula site, every 2 or 3 days ?, I think I find on the third day I tend to rise a bit

Yes spot on I change mine every 2-3 days but it does depend I find either it gets a bit sore or itchy around site so I change sooner or blood go up a little bit
 
If using steel then every two days if soft cannula then 3 days.
 
Same as CarbsRok. And - naughty as this is - I have forgotten before, and left them a day longer. I'm lucky in that my BS doesn't rise, but if it did start to rise before the prescribed change day, I'd change earlier.
