Pump Sites

Hi

I was wondering if anybody has problems with diferent sites for their pump. Often takes two or three tries to locate a good site.

I know some sites of mine have a slower absorption rate, but not sure what you mean by "bad" sites.

I have only been pumping a little over a month and I only use my abdomen, not had any problems yet apart from hitting a vein once that was quite bruised for a couple of days.

What I meant to ask is about bad absorption. Any tricks to get better results.

Thanks

How long have you been pumping? What type of sets are you currently using? Canula length? What type of insulin are you using? And is this a recent thing, or has it been going on for a while?
