I was having problems with Accu-Chek TenderLink infusion set as my body seemed to want to 'push it out' and I didn't like the long insertion needle - I'm a bit squeamish about needles and injections anyway. I met the rep yestrerday and she swapped me to the FlexLink with the inserter and so far so good. I like the fact that I don't have to push the inserter needle in - the inserter that comes with FlexLink does it for me. I think because it goes straight in and I am not hesitating, doing it too slowly or getting the angle wrong, I should have less bruising (I bruise easily because of other medication I'm on).
Has anyone else had similar problems? 🙂
