[QUOTE="Jollymon, post: 1932682, member: 480011"] To shorten then cannula, I use an angled set and push it in at a shallower angle. I need millimeters shorter, not microns- tape isn’t thick enough. Metal cannulas are really long for me. Being sharp, they know how to poke the muscle layer. But they don’t bend. They can’t break off. And if the site goes bad, you can peel up the sticker tape and reinsert them somewhere else. If you want to try a different set type, calling Medtronic will get you samples. [/QUOTE]
