[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 219569, member: 27914"] Hello Annette It was my DSN who suggested keeping the sets in the fridge as many people benefit from this. I was having so many kinked cannulas until doing this and now only have a few. I only keep 2 sets in the fridge and rotate them as I use one. It actually makes insertion a lot less painful! However I never change my set and resevoir at the same time as they never time right so I'm not sure how it would effect the tubing if I used it. When my cannulas kink I never get sugars over 12. The first time I know about it is normally when my pump has an occlusion alarm. Take Saturday. My BG 2 hours after change and meal 6.4 and an hour later 5.2. Looked good right?!? Went to bed and woke up 4.8. Still looking good yes? Went to bolus for breakfast and alarm goes off. Prime and retry 2 times more and every time refuses to deliver bolus. Pull set and cannula is kinked :roll: So you see my sugars have never helped identify a working set. I have to wait for 2 meals to see if I get the occlusion alarm. This is extra worrying now I have a baby. [/QUOTE]
