Changing Your Infusion Set
When you attended your Insulin Pump Start training, your instructor covered how to properly change your reservoir and infusion set. Now it is time to do this on your own. The tutorials below will show you step by step information on how to change your reservoir and infusion set beginning from removing your old set through inserting a new set.
Infusion Site Troubleshooting Tips
If you experience a high blood glucose (BG) that does not come down with a correction bolus, check your infusion set site.
Is the site red, irritated or painful? If the answer is yes, then rotate and change the infusion site, infusion set, reservoir and insulin.
If you determine that your infusion site, infusion set, pump and insulin are OK, continue to follow the protocol for treating a high BG and contact your healthcare provider.
