My son has recently been put on the medtronic 640 pump back in August. We were advised to go on this as he is so young and his bloods are so unstable and this would help level them out. However we have noticed that he is getting several cannula fails sonetimes where we have to change thw cannula up to 3 times a day. He is an active 3 year old and is very tiny and not at all chubby. The medtronic trainer advised that as he has barely any fat on him the best place for the cannula would be in his bottom, this was working great in the beginning but now we have noticed that his bloods are high constantly and when we change the cannula the little needle is always bent. We have placed a nee cannula in his leg as per instructions from the nurses but he is complaining that the site is sore. Can anyone help with any other advice. Many thanks x
