To be fair, with the steels and the Inset 30 there is absolutely no doubt that it's penetrating the skin, unlike with the Inset II where the whack of the impact on the skin leaves it uncertain whether it was a puncture or just an impact.As sets go, although I sometimes use the inset Ii, the best set for insertion and reliability is the inset 30. The steel needle Contact D is also good.
However even with the Inset 30s I have managed to put them in at such a shallow angle that they don't infuse properly (basically inserted parallel to the skin and between the skin layers, causing blister pockets of insulin) or insert them at too broad an angle and get a blood bath.
