[QUOTE="victry77, post: 863187, member: 23137"] Thank you all again for the further responses and advice. I am still persevering with the much appreciated help of kind members of this forum. I rang Medtronic but they don't actually send out samples I have to speak to my DSN for her to write to them so they can send me a different box of sets. The helpline guy (who incidentally was very helpful) suggested I try shorter cannulas as the ones I'm using are far to large for my build and very little body fat. He seemed to think that based on my BG levels that I'm not getting the best out of the insulin due to the cannulas. Anyway spoke to my nurse today and she is requesting for them to send me the shorter ones to try first and if I'm still having problems then I can try the steel ones but I need to go in to train for those. I've had a go of these features myself, but I need to get a better grip of the standard bolus first as when I was doing my basal testing the other day I botched things up by using the square wave feature.
