[QUOTE="Cheryl, post: 220380, member: 35617"] I'm with you Meela83, I'm about to get a new pump & a major factor in choosing it is that I have to faff around changing reservoirs as little as possible & that it's quick & easy. Re manual changes, the cannula has a needle down the middle if it of course, so I just stretch the skin slightly & push gently until it pierces the skin & assuming that isn't very painful, which it isn't 9 times out of 10, I just keep pushing until it's fully inserted then withdraw the needle. Simples! :D I'm sure you know how disproportionately painful it is when you nick a capillary, with manual insertion, I can avoid that excruciating pain. [/QUOTE]
