I have 3 pump areas - right of tummy round to hip, above waist/between ribs and the left side of tummy round to hip. The last one is nicknamed "the dark side" because it's where I've had the most issues.
The dark side is next to where I used to inject levemir, which caused me no end of issues and lumps. I don't use that area but it's not that far away. When I started pumping the left side was no issue. Four years later The first of the 4 in a row spots that I rotate on that side started to have issues with the set burning, becoming sore quickly and a lump after set removal. No infection though. I recently tried an inset 30 but same issues. the site works but burns, especially when I bolus. The inset 30 left a huge lump. I decided to miss that spot out for several months to give it a break. Now the next spot along is feeling sore and burny - like the issue is spreading. Do any of you know what this is?
