Ok but then you are using the same filling attachment ( no idea what its called) which could have remnants of insulin in it from your last fill and of course the filling attachment will not be sterile.
You will need to insure your pump for accidental damage and loss, it can be added to you home contents in most cases. Obviously if you have 3 grand to spare for a new pump if you break yours there's no need to insure it
Agree, some people find things may be ok for 3 days with steel. others, myself included, certainly don't. And some may find, as i have done, that after many years of using steel sets for 3 days, and being ok, that control deteriorates seriously with 3 days. And that a site becomes inflamed etc etc even before the end of 2 days. So the manufacturers are correct to advise two - they have all the customer feedback. Feedback from long use patients as well. It would be unfair to say 3 , when that resulted in lots of problems for some.
Home ins is about £20/year extra for the pump and others ins for no extra, the company you have gone for is rather expensive to put things mildly.
If you don't change the needles every time prior to injection then no they're not sterile.
You are replying to a 2 year old thread.
