ok so when i remove them, sometimes i get a red sort of like a spot where i've removed it visible usually goes after 2-3days is this normal?
 
pretty much yeah...........

for me its a raised spot where the small vacuum has existed and there is a hole in the middle that weeps........

makes perfect sense this would happen if you think about it.....

haha mine don't weep anything, it just a little red sometimes sore not all the time, with a red mark maybe from pulling thinking i need a remover or something for the ad as it sticks to much on my skin >.< baby oil
 
I do too I had 1 2 1/2 weeks back that was a problem cannula, after removing it and changing it for another because my sugars were raising rapidly there was a black bruise and it is still there now but not much.

it's just like a red pimple tbh, its not worrying but sometimes its red from pulling it out maybe need a adhesive remover for that part as it hurts so much
 
Yes quite normal, I wonder if it's because there's some inflammation going on around the site of the cannula?
 
Just put a bit of antibacterial cream on the spot after you have removed the cannula, you will be fine
