[QUOTE="Dragonflye, post: 219413, member: 34887"] I was initially told to change my set before breakfast and when I first started pumping I had issue with non deliver 2 or 3 times before I got it right so a change later in the day wouldnt have been good for me as sometimes it would be 6-9hours before I got it right so I've stuck to doing that... When I'm using a new vial of insulin I will get it out the night before, otherwise it stays out until it's empty... I dont mark dates or anything in a diary because every now and again I somehow manage to unceremoniously manage to pull it out (2 days ago I had just plugged myself back in after a bath... was walking past the radiator and the tubing got caught so had to change early :) ) so I just keep checking last change and changing after 3 days :) I now use Silhouette infusion sets, used the quickset to begin with and even though I'm not as skinny as I once was :cry: i had issues with them and I use the inserter... i have no phobia of needles but the thought of manually putting it in makes me feel a bit off lol its sooooooo long!!!!!! So my morning consists of waking up, having shower, changing set, getting the babies up and ready for nursery... it only usually takes me 5mins, 10 tops to change it so it doesnt mean getting up earlier than i normally would :) [/QUOTE]
