The Ultra Flex was the first set I tried and it was very easy to use. I was pretty nervous about putting in an infusion set, even though I have been giving injections for 21+ years! The set is all one piece, the needle and tube is fairly short, and it didn't hurt at all going in. I also saw that Minimed's Sof-Set Micro QR has a cannula that is only 6 mm long, verses 9 mm on the other Sof-sets. Maybe that would work better for a child or young person.

The insertion devices are NOT crutches, they are aids (helpers). When I was 11 and had the 26g needle (those things HURT) my folks got an automatic injector (it can be seen at the end of the Pump picture trail) and the dr. was upset they did. BUT, it put that bugger inside me without hesitation. There is a Sof-Set that is shorter - 6 mm. instead of 9 mm. Also the new Quick Set is short and ideal for children. Disetronic has a new Ultra Set that is short for children, too. The sets are interchangeable and you don't have to be a user of their pump. I'm 62, DMer 50+ years and that set your dtr is using scares me so much I have not used it yet. It can be very intimidating. So what if she has a little comfort in life to do the job?

Disadvantage is that it is a needle and in America they still not have approved the Disconect feature on the set. Advantage the needle is very small and reliable. Good Luck Doreen, call Disetronic they are very helpful and will send you plenty of samples. Frank I appreciate the thought. She has an Animas pump and uses the comfort set that does not have the insertion tool. We were hoping to not make her dependant on that but it is a good idea.

And you're so right about the activity. The diabetes team here wants her pretty non- active to get good base readings, then they can play around w/numbers due to changes in food or activity level.
