Inserting the infusion set

WARNING: While the infusion set is connected to your body, do not unscrew and retighten the tubing

connector on the reservoir

After you complete all of the following, you will be ready to insert the infusion set into your body:

•

fill your reservoir

• rewind your pump

• insert the reservoir into pump

• and fill the infusion set with insulin

Shown here are the best body areas (shaded) for infusion set insertion. Avoid the 2-inch (5.0 cm) area

around the navel.

It is important that you change your infusion set every two to three

days. Be sure to rotate the infusion set insertion sites so that they do

not become overused. The abdominal area is the most common site

for set insertions because absorption is very consistent. To keep

abdominal sites healthy, some people find it helpful to use a visual

scheme to help them rotate their insertion sites in an organized way.

For maximum effectiveness, use the following two commonly used

methods:

• Visualize an imaginary clock drawn on your abdomen surrounding your belly button.

Rotate infusion set insertion sites by starting at 12 o’clock and then rotate the site

clockwise to 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and so on.

• Imagine a letter M or a letter W on either side of your belly button. Start at the end of

one letter and proceed through the letter

, rotating to each intersection in turn.
