What did you do about bolus for latte? Personally if I'm having a 10g ish 'snack' I don't bolus for it and seem to stay pretty steady bg wise (I've found this out over time through trial n error) but if I was having it with a meal or other snacks I would include it, however I'm heavily pregnant at the moment so I bolus for everything because my bg just won't behave itself haha I've tried sets in my bum which I found I was very aware of, so many people use their bum and have no problems but I just couldn't seem to get away with it. Top of my thigh was ok but had to up my basal because of the absorption rate there. Top of my arm was ok, found it fairly comfortable and basal stayed the same but I didn't like it on show, obviously it's fine if I'm wearing something covering my arms but because I have the sure t sets I've got like 2 parts stuck to me n the plastic bit where my cannula is can get caught really easily so I feel very aware of it, so my stomach I just find easier I can put it anywhere there, it's out the way, absorption is good, but I know some people who only use their bum/thigh so see what works best for you <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> What infusion sets have you got? Do you feel confidant doing your set change? My first one was a nightmare cos I didn't write anything down I was certain id remember everything but I ended up phoning my friend and wetting him to talk me through everything and I realised I was missing a vital step, can't remember what it was now but I felt very silly lol Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app</blockquote>
