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. Here are two commonly used methods. For maximum effectiveness,

use both methods, alternating between them:

• 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.

Medtronic Diabetes offers different infusion sets for your pump. Instructions for the Quick-set

begin on

the next page as an example. Always refer to the instructions that shipped with your infusion set.

After your infusion set is inserted, see the Filling the cannula section in this chapter to fill the infusion set

cannula.
