[Diabetes-Talk] trying a new meter

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

We don't insert our infusion set in the breasts, some of us just keep the
pump in our bra instead of on the waistband or anywhere else.

 Alright, so I guess I cheat. I live with one of those sighted people.
Which makes life easier. He's the one who put it in my upper arm, no way am
I acrobatic enough to be able to do that on my own. It does go into the
muscle, being the back of the upper arm, but so far that hasn't been too
bad. I had one other one on the upper arm, and when I reported it to tech
support, I didn't have any issues with them saying you aren't supposed to
put it there. I can't imagine injecting something into my breast, that just
sounds painful. Thankfully at this point, I'm not a pump user. My Diabetes
educater did everything she could to try to get me the G6 but alas, was not
successful. And so far I'm still having this sensor stick, so maybe it will
actually last the
7 days.
