An infusion set is a complete tubing system, changed every 2-3 days, which delivers insulin from the insulin pump to your body.
Tubing
Insulin flows from the insulin pump through thin, flexible tubing that is available in a variety of lengths.
Infusion Set Site
A very small, steel needle or soft tube (cannula) is inserted under the skin and secured with an adhesive patch. Insulin is delivered subcutaneously through this infusion site.
