[QUOTE="pollie, post: 283735, member: 39742"] I read your post and wanted to share with you the problems my husband has had - perhaps it might help. He had a 6 month trial on a pump around 5 years ago. It failed because he kept getting infections/abcesses at the site of the infusion, I should say at this point he has an allergy to plasters and all things sticky and this was the cause of the infections. Not one single infusion site escaped an infection, it was very painful for him and consequently he spent the best part of 6 months on antibiotics with horribly high blood glucose readings. He has just recommenced a new trial on a pump but with the addition of an anti histamine which has removed the sticky plaster allergy and so far he has had no problems with infections or allergies at all. This is a really simple solution to a problem - sadly it took so many years for someone to think of it :wink: [/QUOTE]
