MiniMed Soft-set Micro

yes. practice! 🙂

seriously. here is how you do it:

Put the tape over the set with the paper ON. Using your free hand, hold the tape against you and
reach under with the other hand to pull the paper off one side. Smooth the tape onto the skin. Grab
the other piece of paper underneath the tape and pull it free and smooth the tape down.

NEVER REMOVE THE PAPER BEFORE PLACING THE TAPE INTO POSITION.

does any one know an easy way to get the sticky down the line with out it been a pain in the butt
& sticking on every thing else before it gets to the skin??? what am i missing? case

the case, minus a few cans!

BTW, I've got set changing down to 2 minutes 10 seconds, from a high of about 12 minutes in the
beginning! That includes getting the insulin out of the medicine cabinet and the set, alcohol, skin
prep, reservoir, and Sof-Serter out of the vanity, changing the set, and discarding all the "junk".

I suggest you try the Quick Set. The glue on it is much better, and I have not had to use any
additional sticky stuff since I switched.

With the Soft Set I had all sorts of problems getting the infusion set to stick, and to stay through
exercise and hot weather

DON'T FIGHT IT, JUST SWITCH!

how are you inserting the infusion set? manually or with a serter device?

I would agree...the Quick Sets are so easy to use compared with the Soft set. You should
check it out...

love the QUICK SETS my self but have used them all up.

have 3 boxes of the SOFT SETS to use. they were all given to me so i will suffer and yes i do have
the shooter thing.

I had 2 boxes of SoftSets too! After trying a few of my new QuickSets, I gave the SoftSets to my
endo to pass on to somebody who really needed them (Yes, I know that I should have used them and
past on the equivalent number of QuickSets, but I'm not THAT good..
