[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2036474"] Sorry to read about your problems. It must be incredibly frustrating. I have an idea of how you must feel - I am still on the Animas and find my cannula gets very itching after 2 days so change the sets more frequently than advised. Thankfully, I have an understanding DSN who does not complain (and is a DSN rather than a dietician). I understand Medtronic have a variety of sets that they offer and I think people have said they have had trials of different sets including metal ones which seem to be better for people who have a reaction to the plastic ones. I am wondering if you could contact Medtronic and request to trial some different cannulas. I have spoken to Medtronic a few times now they have taken over the Animas supplies and they seem friendly (although not as friendly as the Animas team). Temporarily this would give you an extended supply and may provide you with an alternative that your body does not reject so you can satisfy your DSN's (and probably CCG's) rations. Another suggestion may be to go through another painful round with your DSN showing you how to insert them and take photos of the results to send to her as proof. Good luck ... and I hope I was gentle. [/QUOTE]
