[QUOTE="iHs, post: 20761, member: 8799"] Hi Stu A pump does have its pros but it also has its cons too. I think I have to agree with what Katherine has said about them in her previous posts. If you would like to find out much more about them, then do register with the UK Insulin Pump forum and then you will be able to read all the messages that get posted. Also, before you decide one way or another to have one, do attend an Input meeting where you will be able to see the reps demonstrating their pumps and talk to pump users. In the meantime, if you are injecting into your tummy, give that area a complete rest and use your arms, legs and backside. For comfort use, infusion sets are best sited in the tummy as that is the best area where they wont get disturbed too much by friction of clothes. They do need to be replaced approx every 2-4 days depending on how well you can control your bg levels and how your skin reacts to the adhesive plaster. [/QUOTE]
