diabetics... injection lumps
Hi guys. I haven’t posted a question in a little while but have been doing some thinking.
A few years back I looked at having a injection pump rather than going on 4 a day but the prospect of having it in at night made me feel sick and wouldn’t like the idea of having it in around my girlfriend, so I quickly went off the idea. However In September I’m going off to university and been looking at alternate ways of insulin intake. I came around Injection ports http://www.pattonmd.com/ and I think they look better than pumps because there is less weight and parts.
So my question is, is anyone on injection ports? Are they any good? Do you feel them inside u? And yes any information about them would be great!
Also being a teenage guy I like to do allot of working out so would I feel it doing things like abs workouts?
Thanks everyone!
 
haven't used one, but went to website...and from what I saw and understood-you just inject in to the port instead and it puts it int o skin....so unless you have a real problem with putting injections in I really can't see the point of it-if I have understood it correctly...I hope someone comes along that may have used it...but it doesn't seem to be a real solution to my way of thinking...

Are they available on prescription here?? The phone number isn't UK is it?...and they need to check their website for spelling mistakes...which leads me to think less of the Company.

I really can't see how a pump can interfere...on all aspects of living with it to be quite honest....and will be honest and frank...no problems with sex....I wear it on my arm not waist...and never know it's there beside a bit of tubing...I don't do workouts, but do some gardening, and still no probs..also I very rarely use my stomach and when I have done so, it hasn't stopped me doing physio etc.....know of a girl that has run a marathon with one, know of other users here that go to the gym, and also lots of younger children hre that are also active with sports and holidays etc.....
