So it sounds like some of the dye from the nightie stayed on the skin! Well done, Sherlock Holmes !!!I had the same thing when i first started on my pump, was v worrying but turned out to be the colouring from my red nightie!!!
Hi @deborabaratto, This is strange indeed.
Some thoughts: could there have been a small blood vessel puncture caused by an inadvertent tug on the tubing causing a small amount of blood pushing up into the tubing and ? the insulin (what type) causing some breakdown of the blood to give the pink colour ? I have not heard of such a situation but checking out the brand of insulin you use in your pump may be worthwhile, particularly if it is an insulin new to you.
Could there be a residue of some sort in the tubing from manufacture? I would be suggesting you ring Roche help line to check that out.
Also was there any skin cream on your skin where the needle(s) went in,? could some colourant from the cream have passed through the needle into the tubing?
Best Wishes -
Puzzling. Blood in tubing doesn't look like that at all.
Unless, ... Are you anticoagulated or taking antiplatelet drugs??

Back to the drawing boards as they say. So see what Roche has to say. Fingers crossed !!I thought abou that too!! But it occurred 3 times now, and I only have one red/pink T-shirt that I didn't use for a while know
