[QUOTE="stoney, post: 404090, member: 22612"] Hi weezer my son James has been on the pump a year at end of August and just realised how quick that time has gone. He was put on the flex link cannulas from the word go but we do know about the rapid D's . He was given the link assist and has never had any problems with kinking. It sounds to me that it is the technique in inserting the cannula and the link assist does it at the right angle so I guess that is the cause of your high BG's . Why not try and borrow your Mum's for one trial insertion to see how that works. I think you will find that will solve your problem. James tends to have high BG's during exercise so has to increase a TBR then has to take off after 2 hours as he drops quickly later on which can last for some time. We are continually learning. Where is your pump when you are spinning. We got James a Spiebelt when footy training and it's the best thing ever as he never takes the pump off . He puts cannulas on tummy or lower back. He also has to change his cannula every 2 days as his BG's tend to rise after that and his infusion insulin last only 5 days. He thought it was a bit of a chore at the beginning but now it's part of his daily routine. Hope you get the problem sorted. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
