No…that scares the f out of me. How quickly do you insert it? I’ve found it hurts most when it moves slowly through my flesh.
Usually 3 1/2 days depending on how it feels. I take showers every day so leaving it in any longer may cause the adhesive to give out.
Jessie, there is a better way! Is it possible for you to get insurance to cover a different infusion set? I’m pretty new to pumping but with shots I did them very very slow because I don’t like needles. I now use the animas one touch ping pump and the all-in-one infusion sets. it’s automated…and i thought the quickness and sound of the click would freak me out; i almost wouldn’t even try it. but it seriously has not hurt a single tiny bit since i’ve been using them-that’d be 3 months now and i change the set every 2 to 3 days. you can use them with any pump-you may just need that little luer lock. check them out: https://estore.animascorp.com/ProductDetail.aspx?groupid=116&topcategoryid=2&subcategoryid=17
