What kind of infusion sets?
Just looking for some opinions/suggestions about infusion sets...What does your child use? I would have set up a poll, but not really familiar with all the sets that are out there.
Tyler is currently using the Paradigm Quick-set, and since we know no other sets, not sure if this is the best one for him. He is very thin. Thanks for any input.

My daughter is a skinny-minny also and uses the Quick Sets as well. Our nurse at Joslin suggested the T-sets if we develop problems, but so far, so good. A couple of times Emma has complained that the site "hurt", but did not want it changed (she could care less about site changes or injections with the pens, just don't take out a syringe...you can hear her on the next block!) The nurse thinks maybe at these times we might be up against a muscle???
The T-sets are supposedly good for thinner patients as the needle is indwelling and there is lno chance of kinking.

I have no experience with any set but the inset.. It works well for us most of the time.. It is frustrating at times because it can kink, but all in all we are pleased with it.. The insertion is virtually painless and quick.. Cayden never complains and we do it without any numbing agent.

we use comfort shorts (the same as MM silhouettes shorts) I love them. Love them. LOVE THEM. We have never had a truly bad site with them. The only bad site we've ever had was with cleos.

We're MM Sure T users.
Love um! The are less painful to insert (per my daughter), no inserter necessary, old site heals quicker, and no cannula to kink. The blue one is the Quick Set, the middle one is the Sure T, and the Gray one is the silhouette.
