Yeah, that bleeding from the site can happen. Interesting to see it with a patch pump though! One concern I've had is that you might not see bleedings due to them being covered by the patch pump. Since I use a tubed pump, I see them right at the site.
I distinguish between 2 types of bleeding. First type is the one like yours - bleeding next to the cannula. I switch sites then, because this indicates to me that the site may be leaky. When I see that kind of bleeding, I can often also smell insulin if I swipe my finger next to the site, so insulin leaked, and the site is no longer reliable. The second type is blood _inside_ the tubing. That sounds more dramatic than it is - typically at most 1-2 cm of tubing at the site is red. That one I ignore, since there's no leaking happening. It usually happens when I have a 0% temp basal and I did something to get my heart pumping. Once insulin flows again, that blood is flushed back in.
Almost all of my sites bleed at the cannula! So much to learn on the pump!
@@diabeticbeckyfitness4879 Almost all of them? 😳 That shouldn't happen. If it bleeds at the sides of the cannula, you can't know how much insulin made it in or not. Can you try different cannula sizes and types?
Hey Becky, did you go back to basics and test your basal etc? It's always difficult moving from one form of therapy to another! I have been on a pump for 8 years, I love it. I would usually take off my pump for exercise up to about an hour. I know that's not an option for you with the patch pump. Good luck with all 👍
@@dvdv7777 I think I can try a slightly smaller cannula yes
@@not_in_the_know yes we did lots of basal testing! You can actually take the Solo off as it detaches from the base so I do that sometimes with exercise or just suspend the pump
Prebolusing is such a strange thing… in the morning, like you, I need to inject my insulin a lot before breakfast even if I’m low, and if I’m in range sometimes I need to wait up to 35-40 mins to eat, while at lunch and dinner I can’t wait more than 10 minutes, otherwise I would go low!
I’m the exact same! Unless I’ve done weight training before breakfast then I can go in like 5 minutes!
