[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1775296, member: 110569"] Sorry [USER=387645]@johnpol[/USER] I know nothing about such high TDI (my total is around 21units). I also change my set every 2 days, due to high BGs on the 3rd day. I remember things weren't going so well months after starting the pump and I asked my DSN if I should change my cannula every day. She said I would be as well going back to injections, rather than have daily set changes. I don't know if this would be due to cost or due to other problems. I persevered with changing sets every 2 days and things settled down nicely. Have you tried varying your sites more? By this, I don't mean necessarily e.g. changing from tummy to legs. You could try that too but what about using e.g. parts of tummy you don't normally use (the edges of usual sites rather than the parts that may be easier to reach). I take it you haven't changed your insulin relatively recently. I don't like the sound of hardness under the cannula. Maybe it is something to do with your TDI but it could possibly have something to do with using the same sights too much. Why not ask your DSN? If she's anything like mine she'll get back to you before you see your consultant. [/QUOTE]
