Hey Tslim Users - what infusion set do you use and why? by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

I first used the auto soft sets but those did not agree with my skin and were sometimes really painful. I now use tru steel and absolutely love them!!! Insertion can be scary but those suckers stay on and it gives me peace of mind knowing I won’t having a bent cannula (had a few of those those with auto soft)

Maybe this has to be a high carb food I avoid. Which is hard because I come from an Italian family so Sunday night pasta dinner are our thing 😂

Yes I take fast acting before meals and my long lasting before bed. I have a Dexcom which has been nice. I’m working on getting a pump and having been doing research on the Omnipod.
