I have before but I put a bandaid on top of it and I don't have any problems.....

I have, yes. I'm using Inset-90 right now and have found Skin Tac works well. I have also heard people say good things about Mastisol... The tape on the Cleo sets are a little different. I found that using the Skin Tac wasn't enough, but applying a bit of heat with a hairdryer after I put the set on helped a lot.

 

Hope that helps :)

I put a tiny piece of cloth bandage tape across the patch part. I dont know the name, but a whole roll has lasted forever.

Depends on what you're doing really. I swim 6 days a week and have put a waterproof bandage over mine, but I know with sweating and friction the sets will come out too. I've been told to try IV3000 if it continues to be a real problem. Hope that helps

I found that the one time I used a skin prep (which is supposed to be 'sticky', my infusion set started to peel up on day 2. I just stick it in clean DRY skin (I tried putting one in 10 minutes after a bath a few weeks ago and lost the set) and they've been lasting really well!

I have had 2 come right back out with needle all together when I pulled needle back. Sticky def not as good this batch around. Now that I know I hold it down.
