[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 675656, member: 11028"] Of course you may ask Paulina. I've been having a few issues with injection site problems, more recently with my bum but have had issues with my stomach for a number of years, I did leave the stomach alone for some time and went back to it but I'm beginning to see poor insulin absorption again, so have just been mainly using my arms for my QA insulin and using my legs for my basal. I think after injecting for 33 years it has taken it's toll on my injection sites, we (that is my DSN and I) figure that moving from injections to a pump will resolve these issues as I will only have to insert a cannula every 3 days as opposed to injecting 12 - 15 times over the same time period. One of the reasons why I never really wanted to go on a pump was I didn't really mind the injections, especially since the modern days pens came available, I was always put off using a pump as I feared I'd catch the tubing and be disconnected without knowing, however I know the pumps are now fitted with alarms and of course you have the patch pumps like the Omnipod which is tubeless, which I might just go for given the choice. As I said earlier, it's a big change and I am a wee bit apprehensive, but I will give the pump my best shot and will ask for advice from the good members of this forum if I come unstuck :) Thanks again for your kind wishes everyone.
