Infusion Sets and Sites
Suggested Solution
Insulin leak
Check Luer lock connection by wrapping a tissue around it to check
for moisture; tighten or change cartridge and infusion set if needed.
Check that cartridge is not filled with more than 2.0 mL of insulin.
Redness, tenderness, lumps,
itching, warmth, discharge
Change infusion set and site; use clean technique. Treat old site for
infection if necessary. Consult healthcare team.
Cartridge Reused
Do not reuse cartridge. Cartridge is for single use only.
DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis)
Hyperglycemia can lead to DKA. If your BG is above 250 mg/dL (13.5 mmol/L),
check blood
or urine ketones per your healthcare team.
Remember, the first signs of DKA are often
nausea and vomiting. Also remember that because you no longer have long-acting insulin in your
system, DKA can develop quickly if you ignore and/or fail to troubleshoot potential problems.
