Hi,

I'm just coming to the end of my pump trial, I refill every 5 days and change cannula every 2 sometimes 3 days.

I refill whenever I change cannula, and vice versa. About every 3 days.

Cannula every 2-3 days. Tubing every 6 days. Cartridge every 4-5days as this cartridge is quite small compared to my old pump cartridge. Battery is only one single AAA battery in this pump and generally lasts about 2 weeks.

A tube should last 6 days. Stainless steel sets should be changed every 2 days, plastic ones should last 3 days but I find I have to change mine every 2 days otherwise my bloods go up.

What pump are you on?

on my calculations it looks like a refill every 2 days the pump is going to be a medtronic veo

I refill at the same time as I change my cannula, so every 3 days.

same as dtennant9 - on Medtronic veo and I change set whenever I refill... every 3 - 3.5 days
