New Record for Infusion site!

I got very game with my last infusion set - it was going so well, so i left it in, and inspected it every day over the 3-day recommended period. No dirt, no blood, no infections.

In all it lasted me 8 days, and i took it off yesterday in the shower as i always do and there was only a tiny little mark as if it had been in for one day! I was very happy with how it went, and i only changed it because there were some build ups in the tubing and if i am going to change the tube i may as well change the site.

For those that are interested it was a 9mm InsetII, however i will be moving to the 6mm on my next order (probably next month).

I'm really happy - no scar tissue and no markings since i've started pumping, maybe i just have good skin and good absorption (being skinny and all!).
