[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 279050, member: 13451"] Yes we're using steel needles and are very careful about taking it out. The infection I think started whilst the cannula was still in place, I think this is the reason her readings went up. When I removed the cannula it did look a little red so I think the infection was already starting and the cause of the high readings. After we changed the site her bg came back into good numbers a few hours later. The hydrocortisone cream I've been using contains an ingredient used for treating skin infections so I think perhaps I'll skip the pharmacist and go straight to see our GP. It's one of those situations where I'm thinking should I or shouldn't I, am I worrying about nothing but don't want to leave it and then it turns out to be something that should have been seen to.
