Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chas C" data-source="post: 1955785" data-attributes="member: 49223">[USER=498021]@ChrisLinington[/USER] I use CGM 24/7 for number of years now, I have to self fund though.On the site rotation I start just below my ribs then work round and down go as far down as I can comfortably go (avoiding trouser waist band/belt). So start one side then work around my waist to the other, I can get about 12 into a row one after the other (so around a month), then go back to start side and drop down one cannula width and start again. Can get about 4 to 5 rows. Also use my arms where I can get maybe 10 on one side and perhaps 4 or 5 on the one with the CGM.I see you had the same pen issues as me - its so hard to rotate these 4-8 times a day. In my early teenager days I had reuse-able stainless steel needles and no sharpener either, these damaged my legs.Hope the rotation works for you.</blockquote>
