[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 832511, member: 47217"] I've used a pump for about 16 years now , I started to use one due to night time hypos but I also had two areas of lipohypertrophy on either side of my stomach. These haven't altered since changing from MDI and remain a no go zone for pump cannulas. I haven't developed any new areas of damage since using cannulas although I have got some areas of poor absorption due to overuse as I'm partially sighted and tend to insert cannulas on the side I can see. Only needing to insert 1 cannula every 3 days has reduced areas of potential damage for me and the pump has given me great control whilst allowing me to reduce my daily insulin needs by approximately one third.
