[Diabetes-talk] Insulin Pumps, and Scar Tissue from Years of Syringes

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

When I did injections, I used my legs and arms, but since switching to a
pump, I stick to my abdomen and lower back. The problem with my back is I
have no fatty areas or much skin to pinch, but it seems to work so far.

Hi Bridgit, 

For the first 25 years I only used my outer thighs and tricep areas. My
inner thighs have always seemed to be more sensitive and I don't like the
way it feels so have mostly avoided shots there.
For the last 10 years or so I've used my stomach and sides to give shots.
Until getting my pump a couple/few years ago. Now, due to what seems to be
poor absorption due to scar tissue, I've been trying other areas. 


Strive On!

I only use my tummy and llower back. I rotate around my tummy, lower and
higher, on the sides and then my lower back. I have yet to try any other
location on my body, but I know a lot of people use their inner thighs and
back of the arms. I know women who carry their pump in their bra, but I
personally do not know any woman who places the site anywhere in their
breast, but I'm sure you can.
