Pump Demo

[WolfBrotherb]

Hi all, I went to a pump demo for the accu-chek roche combo on thursday and really liked the idea. I tried a cannula on at the demo and it didn't feel to bad, this gave me hope. But today I was going to try having the cannula on all day, so I went to put it in but this time it hurt. So I tried again and got it in ok. But when I had to take the little tab of the back of the cannula it started hurting again (when I had to push down on the cannula). So does anyone have any ideas of less painful ways to take the tab off the back?

Thanks, Dan

Hi Dan

Do you mean the blue tab? You don't need to push on the cannula just slide the blue tab to the side and then pull out the needle

If you can see the attachment then it is the bit just above the needle you have to slide it off

I've actually just done it and it didn't hurt!

Thanks! I've still got it in as well so that I can get a feel for it and it doesn't hurt at all! Yay!
