- - - - - and that's probably EXACTLY why your sets /sites go 'off' so quickly, young man.  And why I also have various places that do.  Scar tissue, isn't it?

No - nobody can prove it unless they removed all our skin and studied it inder a microscope.

PS the tubeless cannulas are cheaper!

You might be right :) Though I don't actually think my sites do go off particularly quickly Isn't changing at 2.5 days (with no real rise in BG before the change) about right?

I meant 'that one' - the one that went off after 1.5 days Mike, rather than the insulin having gorn orf.
