Absorption Issues - Which Infusion Set Do You Use?

Hey Everyone,

I've been using the Mio Advance infusion set for a few years, but for the past few months, I've been having to use pen injections for the first meal following a site change as the site just doesn't work initially, and hoping it'll settle long enough for the next meal, but usually end up having to go through 2 sites almost every site change lately, and now every site change day I'm second guessing the sites.

I think I need to switch to a different infusion set, so I've been looking at the Sure-T, which might apparently overcome these issues, but I never notice a bent cannula when I take the failed infusion sets out - is there something more to the needles that allows them to overcome the initial bad absorption? I've also heard about angled sets being more reliable than the 90 degree sets, so if anyone has experience with any other sets, please let me know!
