[QUOTE="GB1, post: 1072437, member: 273869"] Dear All I have only just joined this forum despite being type 1 since 1974. I noticed this topic online due to my recent frustrations with occlusions and the insight flex since the supply of steel cannula's was stopped by Roche. To be honest I have been getting the bleeping and error message M24 up to six times a day. Sometimes for variation an E7 error will close things down (at least until I remove and re-insert the battery). . Sometimes I change the infusion set and sometimes not. I do not notice any of this nonsense affecting my blood sugar but boy does it irritate me. I have spoken with my diabetic nurse who finds those of us with more injections behind us have more problems with non-steel cannula's due to the differences under the skin (and please don't ask if I put the cannula near a lump). My latest call to Roche's technical support resulted with me being asked if I rotated the sites I used followed by questions as to whether I could see air bubbles in the line. I am a postman and the time before I was told the cold weather can affect the insulin in the pump and cause air bubbles due to volume changes. Call me old-fashioned but the only difference is my being forced to use inferior Teflon cannula's. It is not the change in the weather, electronic interference, mobile phones or my car keys it is the cannula. The only way I have found to reduce the M24 errors is by stretching the body as much as possible near the site as the cannula is attached (my wife helps). [/QUOTE]
