Cannula insertion sites?

[RachelJ2311]

Hi guys,
I'm 20 and I've been on the pump since February...literally could have not made a better decision in my life! Anyway because of how much its improved my control and general health I've managed to lose a decent amount of weight which I have been struggling with since I've been diagnosed. This means that I'm much more confident to wear a longish crop every so often to show off my belly bar which has been hidden, but obviously I don't want to be flashing around my cannula site so where else can I put it? I'm not really sure if I can put it where I uses to inject with a pen :S
Hope someone can help!!!

Hi
I use my stomach, upper arms and buttocks for sites. I don't tend to use my legs due to long walks and cycling.
I do find my stomach offers better absorption but still need to rotate.
Hope this helps ;-)

Bum? I have used my bum cheeks (size 10) for majority of 30 years. I have too much muscle anywhere else. My sites still good.
