Metal vs. Synthetic Cannula (Infusion Set)

I am using a metal cannula at a 90degree angle. Why? Because, Teflon or whatever other synthetic compound used in most cannulas causes tunneling and subsequently backwashes insulin out of the site. Its been a long road, but I am 2 boxes of infusion sets deep and not a single leak since switching to metal. IF YOU HAVE INSULIN LEAKAGE, TRY A METAL CANNULA!
