as these may affect the stability of the infusion set.

could lead to infection.
• If you have to disconnect your infusion set, pay particular attention to hygiene and
use the protective cap.
• Avoid excessive stress on the infusion site and on the infusion set. Pay attention when
carrying heavy weights.

inspect the infusion site on a regular basis. Do not insert a new infusion set just prior
to bedtime. Check your blood glucose frequently (check with your physician).

your infusion set.
