[QUOTE="jimmax, post: 2252094, member: 103294"] Thanks Chas C, the needle or plastic tube is definitely blocking as I've checked the failed TruSteel infusion sets after removal by forcing insulin through the tube with a syringe. With two of the three blockages I've managed to clear the blockage using the high pressure created by a 30u syringe. I re-used one of these successfully again. The main downside of this is the high risk of infection or blockage again. [/QUOTE]
