What are infusion sets for people with diabetes?

Infusion sets

Whether you are new to insulin pump therapy or are experienced, we have the right infusion set for your body type, personal preference, and lifestyle.

Designed for every body and every lifestyle

An infusion set includes the thin plastic tubing that delivers insulin from the pump to your body. This tubing comes in different lengths to accommodate various needs. At the end of the tubing is either a soft, flexible cannula, or a stainless steel needle. The cannula, which is a small, tapered tube, is inserted under your skin in a spot such as your abdomen, thigh or buttocks. This spot is called your infusion site, and the infusion set remains in place for up to 2-3 days for most set types, and up to 7 days^* for the Extend infusion set.
