[QUOTE="Jollymon, post: 2331470, member: 480011"] [USER=51030]@Nickers[/USER] you’ve got a lot of options for infusion sets. Way more than 1. [USER=482479]@sleepster[/USER] ’s post has the link to the mm website for infusion set options. Everyone is different which is why there are so many choices. And know this, if you choose something that doesn’t work, just choose something else. I started with a 90 set that was easy to put in. A quickset. They popped in fast! And I was nervous at first with this new pump thing. I thought these would be easy. I failed with them quickly- my skin was too thin and my body was too muscular. The cannula on this one often bent over and kinked. Sometimes very quickly. I tried everything in the infusion set lineup. I wanted something easy, and not intimidating. The one that seemed to work the best for me was the most intimidating to me. I use a 13mm silhouette. I push them in by hand, so I control the angle. Now that I understand why I need them, they are pretty easy. I did get help from someone at a time where it wasn’t common. I got help from another pump user with infusion sets when I was ready to just give up on pumping. Too many infusion set failures and issues. This person was just another pump user. But the key was that she had experience. She said to try the silhouette, and showed me how to put it in. I am extremely thankful for that guidance. It made a difference to me, which is why I always offer to help anyone. Especially when talking about infusion sets. [/QUOTE]
