Hi all,
just after a bit of advice
i have the insight pump and have been offered the steel canulas. I was given two to trial and I quite liked them, they’re easy to insert, I don’t feel them and they’re quite discreet too.
but, I noticed that my levels where running a little high towards the end of the second day both times and after both test runs, when I removed the canula the site bled quite a lot. I usually run high if it’s a bleeder. I also ended up with a huge lumpy bruise on my arm when I used it there.
Before i decide whether to continue with them, Can anyone tell me if the bleeding sites are normal when using steel canulas? Or did I just get two dodgy ones by coincidence!
is there a particular technique to avoid badly bruising?
thanks everyone
Naomi
