New Here

[Jenn L]

:hello: Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum and thought I would introduce myself. Soooo... Type 1 for 20 years. Wear a Miini-Med Paradigm. I am looking foreward to talking with people who "know how it feels"
I'll start with a question. After 6 years on a pump, I only put the infusion in my abdomen. I know I need to move it more, but I can't imagine how it would work. I wear jeans a lot, and t-shirts. Any ideas??

Hi Jenn, I'm not a pumper, but wanted to welcome you. Someone that pumps will come along.

Welcome Jenn :hello:

We're a pretty nice bunch~ so I'm sure you will fit right in :wink:...

I am a pumper, also wear a MM 511 pump... For a while I stuck only to using abdomen sites, but then I knew I had to expand on the sites I use. For me, my legs are NOT good- I don't get good delivery and there are times where I've yanked the set out... I honestly haven't tried my arms, but I can't see how that would be comfy :confused:. Then I tried my lower back and love handle area and was surprised at how well these areas work... I would recommend trying it yourself...

I know what works for me may not work for you, but I think the only way you will know is if you give it a shot! Live and learn :)

Best of luck! :)

Yeah, legs didn't work for me either...and painful to insert! I've never tried the arms because injections REALLY hurt there (can you see a pattern here pertaining to avoiding pain???). I do use my upper buttocks and hips and have no problems.

Welcome to the forum, Jenn.

I've been pumping since mid-December and have only used my abdomen area. I stay on one side for about 2 weeks, rotating sites every 3 days and then switch over to the other side for another 2 weeks. So far this has worked for me.

Welcome to the site. I've been pumping almost 4 years and have stuck with my abdomen, although I can tell I need to start expanding my area. I did try my upper butt once, and the first set didn't work to great, lasted about 1.5 days. The second set I tried worked for the full 3. Although it was a pain in the butt (HAHAHAHA) to remove. It was a time like that I need a girl that doesn't mind pulling some tape off my butt.

Hi Jenn,

I am an ancient pumper. LOL

I started with my stomach. Notice how ache is the last part of (stomache) lol???

I have since moved to my hips and buttocks. I like that much better. I have not tried my legs......scare-dee-cat that I am.

Welcome to the site, Jenn.

There is sooooo much to gain from being here. Welcome!!!!
