Infusion site testing

[kegstore]

This is interesting for CGM and/or pump users, given the current advice to locate infusion set and glucose sensor at least 3 inches from each other:

Thank you for the link - will save any concerns in the future but to be honest, with the size of the "occlusive" dressings I am using over the CGM transmitter/sensor, I find that the 3" exclusion zone isn't really an issue - I generally try and keep the plumbing for the CGM on the opposite side to the infusion set but as each have a different useable life, it isn't that unusual to end up with them both on the same side for a couple of days so, as said, the article offers some comfort for that situation.

Thank you,

Alan
