[QUOTE="iHs, post: 467459, member: 8799"] When you leave an old set in for a long time while you use another one, what happens is that instead of insulin being pushed downwards into the cannula and keeping it clear (like flushing),with the tube attached to it with the pump, blood tries to come up the cannula instead. So unless it all looks very nasty, then there's probably nothing to worry about and it should start to clear up and vanish......... Just remember and dont do what I did one day.... put a new set in not far from the old one. Had a shower and disconnected the tube from the new set and after shower couldnt remember what set was new and what was old. Connected up to the old set by mistake and had high bg levels lol. Learned a lesson and remembered to mark old set with a biro pen on adhesive so that no mistake was made next time....... [/QUOTE]
