Failure to do so could result in missed insulin dosing. See the section “Programming a Standard Bolus” (page 77) for more information.

Inspect your infusion site at least once or twice each day for irritation or infection. Signs of infection may include, but are not limited to, pain, lumps, redness, heat, or discharge.

If you see redness or swelling, change the infusion headset and the infusion site immediately and contact your doctor or healthcare team.

Change the infusion headset according to the instructions for the infusion set you are using and your doctor or healthcare team’s recommendations.
