I use the Unimedical Quick Sets 9 mm. I know it is bad, but usually use lower abdomen. Try to move it around as much as possible there though. I sometimes use upper, but it seems to bother me there more and feel sore. I have read here about people using their bottoms and arms and stuff, but seems awkward, and to tell the truth, I wouldn't be able to reach around there to disconnect for shower--either arms too short of middle and side too big!! I tried my thigh once, seemed OK to me, the nurse educator told me not to do it anymore there because I could hit muscle--that seemed strange, but I usually listen.

I was high most of the day yesterday, changed set and it has been good all day today. Hit a low once last night, ate, and it was good today. So I am pretty sure yesterday was a bad site. I hesitate to change after 2 bad readings though because I have so many I would be changing everyday almost.

Anyway to know if site is really bad other than just changing it?

I will look at the reading materials. I don't know if it is just my age or what, but much of this confuses me. I am not good at technology and stuff--fought getting a computer until school went to computer everything--attendance, grades, etc. Had to then, still not good at it, but love it. I also have never been told to figure in proteins and all that, just do carbs.

Thanks for replies. Maybe my next question should be which sites work best for other people.
