No wonder my BG went up to 25 mmol/l

Anna, I like how you turned to the needle from the get go (at the 20mmol =360mg/dl point). A lot of insulin dependent diabetics would have kept bolusing with their pump not getting any insulin. It could have been much worse if you would not have bolused manually.

Hey Ahmad - I use the Animas 2020 infusion set called the Inset II - it's an all-in-one infusion set + insertion device (luckily the plastic casing can be recycled) - so no inserter like you would use with the MM pump. We think what may have happened in the photo I posted is that the needle in the factory went thru' the canula - so even tho' when I pulled the needle out after inserting it into my skin - and it look straight like it always do - in actual fact - it had gone thru' the canula bit that's bent - and never entered into my skin. That's the only thing I can think of - as it all sounded normal when I put the infusion set in. Here's a link that shows the Inset II - http://www.animas.ca/insulin-pump-infusion-sets.aspx

OUCH! Sorry to hear that happened to you. Do you use Quick-Inserter?
