My daughter (age 7) also uses the inset 30's most of the time and we still get kinks every now and then. Though I have to say they are more reliable than the 90 degree angled insets for us. I have an orbit sample that…"

"One option might be the Orbit micros? They are steel canuals but they are the smallest on the market and wont kink :). Somthing we are trying now is a new set on the market made by Spring. Not sure how well they would stay on a active 4 year old.…"

We use the Medtronic silhouette which is also at an angle. I find the cannula kinks much less than the 90 degree angle sets.
My daughter is 5 now, but has worn a pump all through her childhood...we've always changed the sites every 2…"

infusion sets for active preschoolers
My daughter is 4 and we have been pumping since April. Cannot say that I love it yet. We use Animas Ping. The pump itself is fine it's the infusion sets I have trouble with...we currently use the Inset 30, I believe these are the angled ones. They work okay but I have to be sure to change it every 2 days. Occasionaly the cannula kinks. When all is working well, it's great but when it's not she gets high quickly. My question is : what infusion sets do you like for your active preschoolers?
Mikki's Mama replied to Melissa (son Payton)'s discussion 'Which infusion set do you use for an extremely active 4 year old? Animas pump.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I am having a heck of a time with sites working! I am currently using the Inset 30 and it works about as good as anything we have tried. My girl is almost 4 and we usually put her site on her tummy, lower back, & sides. Where did your daughter…"
