He’s the thing. I have been using this pump for nearly 5 years. I have only changed sites without filling a cartridge a few times, so how come I have lots of extra 3cc syringes and cartridges?

I dunno.
Are the prescription orders for the infusion sets done as separate components, like with Dexcom sensors and transmitters?
The shipment comes with 3 boxes 10 of infusion sites and 3 boxes of 10 cartridges and syringes for 90 days.
@Eric My wife and I call the washer and dryer the “Hose Zone”….what goes in doesn’t necessarily come out, at least not when it should!

I must live in the twilight zone where each sock, and it’s only one, that disappears causes a syringe and cartridge to appear in my “D” drawer.
I can accept that.

For me it is bad sites or yanking out sites where I don’t replace the cartridge. Doesn’t sound like you do this, but I don’t always change the cartridge when I change infusion sites.

Hmmm, I am allowed to get supplies about 7 days before it’s due on pharmacy? Maybe this has happened and over a 5 year period it adds up? For example for me, Humalog was processed on May 29th and it was next processed on Aug 20th, But that is pharmacy, under DME my sensors seem to be exactly every 90 days. Maybe when a new script is sent in they fill it a little faster each start of the year?

I do sometimes need to use a new site without a full change, mostly accidentally yanking it out. Because of that, I keep “caches” of sites outside of my primary stockpile – in purses, in my car, at my parents’ house, etc. So in my primary stockpile, I always appear to have more syringes/cartridges than sites!

Could be that, but I like the missing sock hypothesis
