Hi guys,
So recently I've been told to stop putting my cannulas in my stomach and sides (love handles!) area because the sites have broken down and don't absorb properly.
I was wondering what other places people use? I have the insight pump with tubing, but I am happy to stick the cannula wherever if I can just get the insulin to go in reasonably well.
I have tried my legs in the past but didn't get on with it, tried again today and my blood sugar is just creeping up as if I never bothered to take anything at all. I tend to have the same issue with my lower back/ bum.
Is there anywhere else I can try?
My DSN basically told me there is nothing I can do and I just have to keep trying. But I'm really fed up of feeling like and like I'm gonna fall asleep at any second.
Any tips and trick would be really helpful!
Thanks
Nomi
