activities could cause you to need to change it. sweating?

Do you know why or even if it IS necessary to change the infusion set other than when you change the site? Just seems like a waste of 20 units Faith, just curious >> Hi Faith: part of it is the risk of infection. What I do is draw back those units when I change my set...sort of recycling so the insulin doesn't go to waste....Joan:) << Sorry, but I forget who is on the Disentronic H Tron Plus…. but this

Only time it ever happened to me I was at a bluegrass music festival in 95 degree heat all day. Patrick Yes, hot weather can make the adhesive come lose if you’re in it for an

Other than that I change everything every 2-3 days depending on the weather or activity etc. Chera Faith, I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. I change sites AND infusion sets every 3 days. Don't recall ever having changing sets without also changing sites. Patrick If I understand the question correctly, there has only been one or two times

My question is why it needs to be changed at all, other than say, each time you add insulin Faith sorry, excuse my ignorance, but i mean the cord…. the guy that trained me
