@yacoobian Haha Thanks! :) Actually, I've already made a video on how to insert the infusion set! If you go to my page and then click my video that's called "Me and Type 1 Diabetes - How to Use/Change Your Infusion Set" Hope this helps! :)

what pump are you on?

[qtcassie220]

@TypeOneDiabeticc MiniMed Paradigm 522 and I love it!

[gibraltardude]

umm what about the pen?

[qtcassie220]

@gibraltardude Actually, the pens were the very first thing I use to use. I really like them and I think that the idea is better than syringes, however, many of mine broke... I don't know why but when I would dial in the number units of insulin I needed, it sometimes didn't work :( I have many pens that are broken. This is one of the reason why I got the pump and love it! If the pens didn't break on me so easily, I would have preferred them over syringes but not the pump. Hope this helps! :)
