Reconnecting Quick-set
A fixed prime is used before reconnecting the infusion set to your body to ensure that insulin has filled the
infusion set. See the instructions in this chapter.
Place the connector part (flat-side facing down) on the infusion set until it is fully seated. Do not grip the
connector part by the flat side-grips.

Record keeping for diabetes management
Now that you are using the pump, we will be asking you to test your blood glucose regularly. The
information from your blood glucose journal is your healthcare professional's only method of making
adjustments in your pump settings. It is important to test often and write down your blood glucose
readings, the food you eat, any exercise you perform and any other notes to explain your blood glucose
results.
You must test at the recommended times and any other time that you feel your blood glucose is high or
low. Be sure to include your meal boluses, correction boluses, the amount of carbohydrate you eat, basal
rate and any other information that will be helpful in assisting your healthcare professional in adjusting
your pump settings.
It is very important to look at your blood glucose readings as feedback regarding your diabetes
management, not as statements about you or your self-worth. Try not to have an emotional reaction to
the numbers and do not judge them too harshly. You will soon learn how to modify the numbers easily and
precisely through insulin pump therapy.
