Message: <blockquote data-quote="GrantGam" data-source="post: 1596617" data-attributes="member: 295621">I'm surprised your diabetologist never considered this as a possibility - was it not mentioned?Lipohypertrophy can subside if you give the sites a good rest - so if this is the case for you, it would be best practice to use alternative sites and see if matters improve. If you still have issues, then I'd imagine that the problem lies with the infusion sets you're currently using - or even your application technique.As I'm not a pumper, I'll tag some forum members who are - and who will be much better placed to advise than me<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER], [USER=11028]@noblehead[/USER], [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER], [USER=265172]@Snapsy[/USER].As you can see from the below image, there is a lot of surface area that can be used for injections/infusion sets. But as creatures of habit; we tend to favour the ones most convenient or easily accessible. This in turn can cause us re-use the same ones too often, resulting in things like lipohypertrophy.
