"I have been using the Insets since I began pumping six years ago. I use the IV Prep wipes before I insert and that helps them stay secure. As for the canula not making it into my body, that happened once when I forgot to take the blue cover off!"

Liz replied to Leata's discussion 'Problems with Insets (vs. other infusion sets)?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump UsersLiz commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"I tried the 30s a couple times and they would not consistently work good for me. At times they would be good and others not. I now stay on the 90s and love them! I think my trouble with the 30s was that I didn't always get the angle correct…"
Liz replied to Amy's discussion 'Pump not pimed msg' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Have you called the pump company? They should be able to walk you through a check of your pump."
Liz commented on barbraann's event 'Get Together'"92 miles is too far for me. I was hopeing for more like 50. Maybe next time can be closer to the Ann Arbor area?"
Liz replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I tried the 30s for awhile. I liked it, but my sugars didn't. I guess I had trouble getting it into the correct position every time. So I went back to using the regular Inset and all is fine."
Liz commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"I put two coats on, drying after each swipe. In almost six years of pumping I have lost only a couple sets."
Liz commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Animas Insulin Pump Users'"Andrew, do you use the IV Skin Prep or some other tacky stuff?"
