Did you recently lose weight or switch insertion sets/devices?? When I first started on my pump (Medtronic) i was using the quick-set infusion set with the round blue insertion device and it was hitting muscle in my abdomen. I switched to the Mio which I believe has a shorter cannula and I love it, haven't had a problem…
