[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 581303, member: 66676"] Woah! 9 days!?! You need to check Medtronic's guidance on their insulin reservoirs: mine, for example (Animas Vibe), state that the reservoir should only be used for three days - one of the reasons they gave was that the materials used in the reservoirs deteriorates rapidly when there's insulin inside them. After about a year on the pump, I got lazy and used to pre-fill 5 or 6 cartridges in advance and leave them in the fridge / cupboard prior to use - my BG's were absolutely horrendous and it transpired this was the cause. You may find that even if you don't use all the insulin in the cartridge you should still change it when you change your cannula. [/QUOTE]
