[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 279106, member: 12578"] Re cleaning the site, they spent ages at pump training insisting on the importance of cleaning hands, not touching anything else, swabbing top of vial and site, keeping things away from nose etc I'm prescribed unidose chlorhexidine in aqueous solution like this [url=http://www.cooper.fr/produit_cooper_CHLORHEXIDINE+0%2C2%25+COOPER]http://www.cooper.fr/produit_cooper_CHL ... %25+COOPER[/url] and gauze squares. (have to pay for them though) The squares come two to a packet. I use one to swab the top of the insulin vial and the other to swap the site. At the start I was prescribed a sterile plastic mat to lay things out on but they've stopped prescribing that. (that's the counsel of perfection, I'm not always as thorough as I was told to be ) Hope Jess gets a cancellation, I'm sure that you've done the right things but agree with the others that it's best to get it checked out.
