Pump troubles at night

Have you considered using some tape to put across your tubing about a inch from the cannula?

More tape on the patch that holds the canula in. Also can you move the pump closer to the patch so the tube has more slack? Or use a longer tube possibly.

As this has been OK for 14 years I guess it would be good to look at what has changed recently. Anything at all that you are doing differently, or any equipment changes.

Any chance you are having hypos at night?

I accidentally ripped out my set in hospital whilst having pain treatment recently. The nurse gave me a fantastic clear sort of plaster ( on my bum!) and I reput the same set in!! I wish I knew what this clear plaster was that hospital gave me as it kept set in for 2 days no trouble, and came off really easy too. Perhaps any hospital people on this forum could identify it?

Hopefully it may be a temporary phase you are going through, if not a bit of micropore tape on the tube to belly may stop it as the tube and micropore would rip off first?

The clear plastic sounds like an Opsite dressing. They are made from cultured skin cells or something magical like that.
