I tried the Inset 30's and couldn't get the angle right so the absorption wasn't as good as the 90's. User error I think. I would imagine the 30's are a good choice for someone who is lean enough to use them.

I prefer the inset 30. The inset is too often hitting my muscle and kinking or pinching, even with the short set. Although I think they look cooler!

I asked my trainer thursday and she said she preferred the inset. That is what she in fact wore herself. So that is what I am starting off on and is so simple to use, I figure why mess with a good thing. LOL Right now mine is running the saline in it but tomorrow it will have the novolog in it.

Willow has little to no fat. We use the inset 30. I posted a picture of me getting ready to insert on her tummy and then the site. Sometimes we get 4-5 days on one site. She likes the 30s and when given the option of another type of infusion set - I have considered the contact-detach, she says no-way!

I use the inset but am going to try the 30s as well to compare them. I used to wear angled sets all the time.

I personally use the inset 30's. They now come in pink and with the "injector" so you don't have to manually insert it! They are comfortable and I can keep them in for 3 to 5 days no problem. I haven't tried the inset yet but they do look much nicer. Personally, I don't do well with the straight sets so I guess it depends on your body type.
