[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1944087, member: 468714"] Hi all pumpers, Of the last 4 steel cannulas I have had two failures: in both cases the BSLs started rising with no other explanation and with failure of x2 normal correction doses to significantly alter the high BSL, at about the 36 hour mark. Both times replacement of the cannula and tubing led to correction of BSLs within hours. The Tandem pump rep has suggested the possibility that after nearly 7 years on a pump there may well be scar tissue at the level of my cannulas, that is at 6 mms. Once the tissue is pressured enough the insulin rate slows. So ... I am going to trial some 8 mm steel cannulas in the fattest part of my abdomen (and where hopefully I have not any lipohypertrophy) !! Watch this space ............. [/QUOTE]
