Maybe Maria suggested these, but give the Sure-T's a shot. Since they have a metal cannula instead of plastic, they don't bend and can handle muscle better. It may hurt life a mofo...but worth a shot, right? Ask for a few as a sample from your CDE or something before getting a whole box, just to be sure. And let us know how it goes!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537635841598337930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282285114598663838.post-54767497198640299842011-10-26T19:17:12.583-07:002011-10-26T19:17:12.583-07:00Well, crap.

Thanks for the advice!Brian Boshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10776636957211954062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282285114598663838.post-25394578691708445802011-10-26T18:06:58.347-07:002011-10-26T18:06:58.347-07:00Hey Brian,

After 7.5 years pumping, I started having a ton of problems with leaking sets and crazy blood sugars. I was always pretty good with rotating, but still....I decided to switch back to MDI because of absorption issues.<br /><br />I blogged about it here: http://www.act1diabetes.org/2011/05/26/site-change-sea-change/#comments<br /><br />...And here: http://www.act1diabetes.org/2011/06/03/life-newly-untethered/<br /><br />Being back on shots has its advantages and disadvantages, but so far I feel like it was a good decision for me. Just throwing my experiences out there as someone who has endured similar woes!<br /><br />--Caroline (@carobanano)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537635841598337930noreply@blogger.com
