@vic hill . Glad to hear you've got it all sorted.
Next option will be 6" nails for you to get the **** insulin in.
Enjoy the DIY and life.

Very stressful and these things do wait until weekends. I always change the set if blood sugars are high (and I haven't been on the chocolate). Plan C is to go old school and give myself a jab. After 60 years you probably do have a few bits of scar tissue etc to avoid or jab through but glad you sorted it all out.

@vic hill well done on 60 yrs, you have 12 yrs on me.
Just recently I've found that I've had to change from 6mm cannulas to 8mm and 10mm around my waist possibly for similar reasons to you. Still use 6mm in my arms.
