Hi there,
So I'm on day 6 of the pump and starting to stabilise / get some sleep -- phew!!
Loving it overall.... One thing: for 5 of those days I've had the infusion sets in the top of my bum cheeks; I didn't really want them in my tum... anyway -- yesterday when I did a set change I thought I'd give my stomach a go, just to see how I felt having it there -- and suddenly my absorption seems to be significantly better! I know I used to read that about injecting so I guess it makes sense; though I never really noticed it so much with injections.... just wondered if other people found the same or if it's just a co-incidence? (I'm getting to the most insulin sensitive part of my cycle, so it could just be that...)
Thanks - and happy Summer Solstice!
