People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Seems like people do have problems with the Teflon cannulas I've been on these for 15 years and only had problems twice are the
Insight Teflon cannulas so much different than the Tenderlink used on Combo
I think (to be honest) that it depends quite alot on your size and fat.
I've always been too much of a coward to use tenderlink to be honest as I thought I could see it lengthways through my skin when I tried one!! Probably just my absolute fear of the hospital cannulas they put in.
Not tried the tenderlinks.. If anything it would just be when you prime them but think you do that after insertion anyway.
Our DSN (who is an old rep for accuchek) said that the straight 90degree plastic sets have never been recommended for lean muscly people like me. Just a pity it took 4.5 years for somebody to actually confirm it. I knew that for myself but could spare other lean persons a tough time...
