[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1641996, member: 32193"] I was a medtronic pump user and was told by the DNS and the medtronic nurse of changing sites every 2-3 days as the longer you leave it the more chance of a build up of insulin which if you run your fingers over you can feel a lump. They also told me to have 3-4 sites so you are not putting it in the same area and if the build up of insulin stops all the insulin going in the pumps should alarm or it has been known to come out on to the skin so you think you have had your dose but you have not had the full amount. I am sure if you change your sites every 2-3 days it will help and it is still better that having at least 4 injections a day. [/QUOTE]
