Lately my infusion sets have been not working.

I use Med Tronic Quick sets it just recently started happening my pump says nothings wrong. When I take out my set my butt bleeds. It normally takes me 3 tries to get a good one. What is wrong? I usely do it on my butt.

I have Medtronic also and always use my tummy. Do you have a 6mm or 9mm cannula? Maybe try another size? I use 6 but am smaller and 9s were hurting before pregnancy.

This happened to me last year and for a few weeks I went through cycles of bad and good sites and called me feet tonic and to get the same advice ever time so I talked to my doctor and she switched my infusion set to mid (same pump tho) and I started getting insulin again. hope this helps

Hi can you contact your Medtronic rep? I don't, use pump so I can't advise.
