Tips for keeping your insulin pump cannula or needle in place

[Northerner]

Here?s the thing no one tells you about infusion sets: Sometimes the adhesive fails to, well, adhere. Or it sticks but slides. Or it comes off before you?re due to change your set. It can happen to CGM sensors, too. ?During one of my half marathons, [my continuous glucose monitor] fell off,? says Greg Florian, 33, a runner with type 1 diabetes. ?I felt it, but when I looked at my site, it was being held on by just the [sensor]. It?s not an ideal time to lose your CGM.?

The good news is that as annoying as poor adhesion can be, it?s fairly easy to fix. Of course, what makes someone else?s infusion set stay in place might not work for you. But even athletes doing the most demanding workouts?including water sports?have discovered tools that ensure safe insulin delivery

Well if they all used the glue Roche used, nobody would have that trouble LOL

Getting em to unstick is much more of a problem, however sweaty I've been or however many swims and showers I've had !
