I went to the endo yesterday.
My A1c was 7.2, up a little, but still not bad.
I talked to him about different options for thigh sites. I've tried my quick-sets there a couple of times, and it just didn't work for me. He recommended I try the Cleo from Cozmo. ( http://www.cleoinfusionsets.com ) He gave me 2 to try. They have a big shortage, so he couldn't get me more. I tried one this morning. I LOVE it!! I've tried sof-sets, quick-sets, the angled sets and insets. This is by far my favorite. For the first time ever, the insertion device doesn't make a really loud noise, or jolt into me. It is so EASY and pain free. I can go as fast or slow as I want to. Plus, it is PURPLE! Can you tell I'm excited? Another huge plus is that it doesn't burn when it delivers insulin, like the quick-set does in my leg. I sure hope I can get more of them, because it's going to be hard to go back to quick-sets, even after one day.
I wanted to share my joy. I greatly recommend trying these if you can!

Jen... I'm glad that you found something that works for you. I use the quicksets and think they're ok, but I wonder if there's anything better out there. Do they work with MM Paradigm pumps?
Take care!:)
Jen-
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Cleo sets. We've been pretty satisfied with the Insets, but your description has got me curious.
Joseph visits his endo next Monday-- I'll definitely ask if she has samples...
i need to try another set. mine are painful, i want one with a device to insert it. i'll go look at that website
Re Andrea@10:52pm --
Cleos are Luer-lock only. Not a problem, of course; just get the Thinset reservoirs from ADR (Advanced Diabetes Research), sold through fifty50.com (or fifty50pharmacy.com? same company either way). They have Paradigm-compatible reservoirs with a male Luer-lock.
As usual with Luer-locks, be careful; they break off much easier than the normal Paradigm adapter.
Cheers,
Felix.
