This morning I needed to change my infusion set for my pump.The infusion set is what goes into your body that allows the insulin from the pump to get to you. I change mine every 3 days.
I usually always put my sets in on my thighs. I have plenty of fat there and then I can stash the pump in my sock and it leaves belts feeling less like Batman's and keeps my pocket free.
As of late I have noticed that I hurts more then it used to when I put the infusion set in. Also I have been pulling out more sites due to bad absorbtion.
So I started using my stomach again today. I have not used my stomach in a while even though there plenty of real estate. I think I was kind of scared.
I remember when I used to use multiple daily injects to manage my diabetes and I would only use my stomach. Even though I would move around it would start to hurt after awhile. Like scar tissue was building up.
Anyhow, I think I am going to stick to my stomach for a while and then head back down to my thighs again. I already miss the stock stash.
Do any of you use only one area or do you move all around? I know some use there arms (which kind of scares me) and back (which I tried with so-so results). I would love to know what you think.
