insulin to be delivered using a “Lot 8” Quick-set infusion set?
When an infusion set does not vent properly, even at stable altitude or stable air pressure, insulin delivery can be interrupted. This happens because the priming process may build up air pressure in the reservoir compartment. The insulin pump could appear to be working properly when it is not. This might result in too little insulin being delivered, which could cause high blood glucose to occur. As always with insulin pump therapy, any interruption in insulin delivery can be detected through frequent blood glucose monitoring.
