Infusion set pain

[Jollymon]

my body isn’t liking infusion sets. Everywhere I plant them they hurt. And/or stop working. I don’t know what to do other than just keep moving them. Pull them out, and plant a new one.

Have you tried talking to your DN to see if there are any other infusion kits that would suit you better.
I know I ended up using 30 degree ones because the 90 degree ones just caused stinging every time I bolused (with the occasional added yelp noise from me when it really really stung)

I also use an angled set. I put it at a shallow angle because they’re just so long. I wish there was an angled cannula with a cannula length of 9mm.

I also wish the one that I’d just put in didn’t already hurt.

The next one I put in is going in the back of my arm. My abdomen, sides, and back just need a break.

Have you changed insulin as the infusion sets started hurting, to a different type ?.

Sorry to hear that - are you getting any lumps, red sore spots from the set ? Are you using teflon sets ? Have you tried other sets ?
