Message: <blockquote data-quote="dancer" data-source="post: 639814" data-attributes="member: 110569">You will find that different people do different things. I change both infusion set and reservoir at the same time - because I was told to do that. I don't fill the reservoir because I would never use all the insulin. If I need to change the cannula again, I don't change the reservoir or tubing. It's something to do with insulin in plastic reservoirs possibly absorbing carcinogenic chemicals if used for longer than 3 days. Many pump users in the States fill the reservoir and only replace the cannulas every 2 or 3 days but continue with the same reservoir. I just do what I'm told . . . Mind you, my memory is dreadful so I would lose track of when my cannula needed changed if it wasn't changed the same day as the reservoir!</blockquote>
