I only change my catheter every four days and after five years doing this have never had any problems. However, I've recently been told that modern insulins may degrade if they are kept in a plastic pump at body temperature for more than three days. Is there any truth in this theory or is it just a sales pitch from the pump representative?
Happily my pump and its consumables are on prescription but the health service, which belongs to us all, ultimately pays so it's surely a good idea to be as economical as possible. However, if it's a false economy, it may end up costing all of us more in the end. What do you think?
