Thank you very much,, i will do that.  I was told that it very well could be my placement, although aI am a heavy individual, 240, i have a lot of muscle around my mid section and i might be getting toooo close the some very good veins, which would also cause my insulin not to work as well.  But thank you so much for yur reply.  Lee

It might depend on the type of set you are using, but when I used one I never bled out.  If it's a lot of blood I'd talk to the endocrinologist to see if maybe you need a different set or should be putting it in a different location.

That's hard to say since you kept it a secret as what "the little gismo" is. And what is "change it"? Change what? What are you doing?
