I agree! I don’t have any trouble with that tape removal, but I found the G5 to be a two-handed task. The G6 I could put on the back of my arm, but I do like wearing it on my abdomen. I tried putting my infusion set for my pump in my arms a few times, and it made the area very sore. I felt like I had just gotten a flu shot each time I put it in my arm. I might want to give it another try, since the med Tronic infusion sets doesn’t give the insulin so fast. That might have been the problem before.
