Hi Everyone,
I'm new on this site and also a newbie with my Medtronic Paradigm Veo. I would like some advice please.
I have had my pump for 4 days now and it's fitted, but no insulin yet. That happens on Tuedsay. We were instructed to wear the pumps so we got used to them being attached to us before going "live" next week. I have done so, but am concerned about the constant sting where the infusion set is fitted. It's also filled with blood a couple of times upon immediate insertion! Surely that's not right?
Anyway, what I would like to know is that do any of you experience this sting/slight burning? I've used about 8 infusion sets already, and tried various places (abdomen and upper buttocks) but it's the same where ever I put it.
I'm guessing it's because I'm new to this and very aware of it all, and hopefully over time won't even notice it, but so far it's not a pleasant experience . I will of course mention this at clinic on Tuesday, but it would be lovely to hear your thoughts.
Thank you everyone.
