[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2390289, member: 450212"] Since I'd totally forgotten about this thread I made, a quick update from me, I just cant use the Advances on my stomach, it itches burns or stings when I bolus more than about one unit, but the Mio 30's do seem to work fine, I think its cos I don't have much fat there, they do leave a red mark for a day of so which may be the cannula, but given the metal one is the same size (ie 6mm at 90 degrees) I'm not convinced that'd work, cos I think its the depth and angle that is causing the stinging/burning/itching However I find using the Mio Advances on my backside works better than the Mio 30's, due to the ahem, the roundness of the area the Mio 30's at a diagonal insert leave lumps (not just redness) for a day or so but the Mio advances don't and well I have more fat there so they work there - and well the Mio 30's are more effort to insert which can be trickier when twisting round to try and see what you're doing :) As for my legs, I cant seem to get anything comfortable there anymore so that plan is out of the window so I'm still trying to find other spots to use (my stomach is not very big and I have to change the cannulas every 2.5 days instead of 2 for it to not leave redder marks for longer, so yeah trying to find other spots :) [/QUOTE]
