Hello,

Usually, the infusion sets for insulin pumps are effective. However, sometimes, perhaps due to malposition you might face these problems.

I advise to get back to your doctor and ask to check if there is any damage in the infusion set.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
