Kacey used ...Way to go Justin! What a brave boy :)<br /><br />Kacey used the Cleo sets when we first started pumping. They didn't stay stuck for more than 2 days and so we ended up going back to the Comfort Shorts (manual insert). Kacey doesn't like the automatic insert ones and she actually cried and begged me to switch her back to the ones I had to push in. She's comfortable with them. If he prefers the Cleo then you can use something called Skin Tac. Its like an alchol pad wipe and it gets sticky and then when you do the set, it stays stuck a bit longer. Thats what we use in the summer for Kacey :) Good luck!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355188326211750959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-85872828625734515552010-03-02T15:36:48.398-05:002010-03-02T15:36:48.398-05:00We used a Cleo once just to see.

The insets come with their own inserter just like the cleo except they are spring loaded and the cleo is not. Glad to hear your taking steps toward the pump. And, hope you grandmother is doing Ok.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-25541278093737416692010-03-01T13:10:23.190-05:002010-03-01T13:10:23.190-05:00How is your grandma doing?

I have only lost two in the past year!! <br />Jacob is a skinny guy, but WONT let me put the insertion anywhere but his tummy... and everytime I ask him if it hurts he always tells me no... hope this helps, and YAY for Justin being so brave with the CDE!! =)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795330580856695749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-29816082917680367542010-02-27T23:49:50.486-05:002010-02-27T23:49:50.486-05:00Sending get well wishes to your grandma!

But I bet Anthony does just fine tonight, and your grandma will feel loved and comfortable with you by her side!Heidi / Jack's Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777565610491587857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-7553241546906550442010-02-27T23:10:21.714-05:002010-02-27T23:10:21.714-05:00I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma.

I'm so proud of you both!!!<br /><br />We used the comfort shorts and now use the quickset fro<br /> Animas. We've had no trouble with them staying stuck. We don't use anything extra and they are still stuck tight after 3 days and baths!<br /><br />When we visit- IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS!!!- Ave can show Justin her pump and site and everything. I always carry extra supplies with me so I can show you what we use. :). Fun, fun! I know Ave was really interested (and I was too) to see a pump on and in action!!! <br /><br />Hugs to you both!Hallie Addingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331775099035220917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-6882451144619242292010-02-27T21:49:36.674-05:002010-02-27T21:49:36.674-05:00I'm glad it went well with the CDE - brave tro...I'm glad it went well with the CDE - brave trooper trying out a new location! We used the Cleos for a while with Meghan, but they WOULD.NOT.STAY.STUCK. We had started with Comfort shorts (ick - manual angled insertion) and after the Cleos went to Insets. They work VERY well for her, and we have no trouble with them staying stuck for far longer than they ought to...cough cough...<br /><br />I hope your Grandma is on the mend soon!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735108106224821900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-7767386179062465632010-02-27T17:50:14.351-05:002010-02-27T17:50:14.351-05:00Glad the site insertions went well. :) I do not ha...Glad the site insertions went well. :) I do not have experience with the cleo, but we do use a little IV prep on Zane before we do his pump sites. It makes the skin a little stickier.<br /><br />I am sorry to hear about your Grandma. I am sure your hubby will do just fine with the night checks tonight! You need to focus on your Grandma and let them worry about D! (easier said than done, I know!)<br /><br />Will be waiting for updates on your sweet grandma.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867189957251214574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-22878144250119946182010-02-27T17:49:41.650-05:002010-02-27T17:49:41.650-05:00We have never used the cleo...only quicksets for m...We have never used the cleo...only quicksets for minimed and insets from animas. The animas ones didn't stick well for us so we had to use some aditional clear medical tape to keep it there. (Hey, we don't like doing set changes more than every three days.) The minimed sets stay on no prob for us. We don't use anything extra with them. <br /><br />SO PROUD OF YOU putting in the set yourself! That was a huge step! You totally showed that set who was boss! <br /><br />I'm so sorry about your grandmother. That pic of you two is priceless. Praying for her! And for you...Justin will be fine tonight...try to let the worry go, your husband can do it!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-53817594125784960752010-02-27T12:51:44.335-05:002010-02-27T12:51:44.335-05:00I hope your Grandma is doing better today!!! Plea...I hope your Grandma is doing better today!!! Please keep us up-to-date.<br /><br />Sounds like Justin rocked the visit to the CDE. Sometimes site changes hurt Joe and other times they don't. I am unfamiliar with the type of set you used...but it looks like the one we use with our Animas pump called an inset. They are fairly sturdy...they have fallen out with excessive swimming/water exposure...but they tend to kink and go bad every day and 1/2 or so anyways...so we usually change them every day to every other day depending on his numbers etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-36536418066257793622010-02-27T09:29:50.789-05:002010-02-27T09:29:50.789-05:00My son Joel (6) isn't interested in the pump y...My son Joel (6) isn't interested in the pump yet. I have to say that I'm slightly relieved. I've always been squeemish about all things medical, so dealing with his needs has been a challenge. I don't know that I'm ready for insertions. Sounds like Justin did great!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966595904025968778noreply@blogger.com
