Thanks. I just got samples of 6mm Sure - T's. I'll give the Sillouettes a shot if they're no good. I hate the feeling of not trusting your pump.
All good ideas. You do not mention looking at your resevoir. Could you have potentially had a large air bubble/s? Depending on how much insulin you take it may not have to even be that large of a bubble to develop ketones. Having multiple bubbles you worked through by continually bolusing it could possibly explain why the R worked, stopped, and then worked again??
Good point, but not in my case. My pump trainer said that I didn't have to worry about bubbles on the top, because they'd come out while filling my tubing. I think that's potentially dangerous advice.
I mixed N+R in a syringe for 15 years, careful to remove bubbles. I do the same when filling my resevoirs.
Just tried the Sure-T cannulas for the first time. I am much more confident with them compared to the Quick-sets. Better adhesion, and you can really see the needle going in and check that they are still in, withoup pulling the whole thing out. I should have been informed that there were other infusion sets, when I started pumping. I also should have been allowed to try other pumps and CGMs. I do not think I will be going back to that endo.
Thanks to everyone who posted here. I learned a lot of valuable information.
