Hi all is anyone else finding their Medtronic extended 7 day Cannulas’s don’t actually last 7 days? More like 5-6 days?
 
I experienced this a few times when I first started with them a year ago, but not recently.
The tell tale sign for me was a sudden prolonged rise in my glucose level at day 5 or 6.
In my case I was using a well visited cannula site and since moving across my abdomen they now all seem to last the full 7 days.
 
Mine used to last way longer like up to 9 days and I change side for site each time but I’m noticing they really start to struggle from about day 6 now and i was keen to find out if others had this issue?
