They only cost $25 directly from Mini-med last month when i bought a new one. Don't know who told you $60. Even with the recall- I will take my quicksets any day of the week.

Take the "blue" needle guard and put it between your middle and ring finger so the adhesive is facing away from your palm and basically smack your hand to the place you want the site to be. Might be harder if you are not using your stomache like I do. (I find it is easier if you have this towrd the finger tips more than the palm. I have done this in a pinch a few times. When I used minimed pump. I changed to Cozmore and now they are leaving the business. Actually you do not need the inserter.
