All you need do is fill the reservoir and replace the tubing. Changing the cannula early just costs the nhs money they do not have spare.My pump had just beeped at me to say that it needs filling again.
I'm not due to change my cannula until tomorrow so shall I just fill it up and attach it to the one I already have or shall I put a new one in?
Sorry for such a novice question!

That would only give you the cannula to wash separately from the tubing, didn't you get the memo? It's 4 sets a year now.All you need do is fill the reservoir and replace the tubing. Changing the cannula early just costs the nhs money they do not have spare.
Jack, cannulas cost about £10 each you add that up over the year with pumpers changing them early for no reason it equals one hefty bill at the end of the day. I'm a penny pincher in my household and hate waste. The NHS is broke so any basic savings we make as users helps at the end of the day.That would only give you the cannula to wash separately from the tubing, didn't you get the memo?

I would think best practice would be to change the cannula, tubing and insulin on a single occasion. I thought carbs was making a sarcastic joke not to sync, to save nhs £10. I then continued with sarcastic joke of the nhs saving money by reusing sets. However carb seems serious about it
