I've read the last few days on the site about cannula pains and problems, I've been using the insight Rapids since being on the said pump without too much discomfort but I don't find them as good as the old tender's that I used on my old one.
Accu Chek still haven't got a release date for their new ones to go with this pump. But this morning beats all my moans and groans about anything,
Had good readings all day yesterday as usual, went to bed last night and just felt tired woke at 2ish with a slight thirst and went a wee then again at 3ish with agitated legs got up and bloods were 18.8
Didn't hang about complete set, site, and insulin change and several hot strong tea to kill the by now furry mouth, and a bolus with my pen of 10u into my leg.
Sat there drinking tea till four feeling very sore around site as usual as the rapids I find are very sticky and can be a bit hard to remove so I put a bit of antiseptic Cream on and rubbed it in but it didn't feel right ins closer inspection the needle was still in my stomach but very slightly sticking out just to the slight touch above the skin.
Now I can't see properly anyway so I struggled to remove this but if it had gone unnoticed a couple of days a dread to think.
Now people know me I've been an Accu Chek user for years bug I'm not impressed with this pump since I've been on it but now yet again I'm going to have to complain about something else, I don't know if anyone else has had this problem I did think if was my fault but by my bloods raising through the night I don't think so
