Type 1 INSULIN PUMP AND ABS WORKOUT.

[zaiddroid]

Hey Guys, I'm on Insulin Pump from 3 years and i have been planning to get six pack abs. Since i use medtronics sils which goes parallel to the subcutaneous layer, i am worried that my abs wont have any fat. so my question is will it pain when i inject my insulin pump needle into my abs? Would it have any other affects and will it be the same as pricking now when i have fat?

Thanks,
ZAID

Lol, I love the optimism, but maybe you should cross that bridge when you get to it?

I'm not on a pump but I do use a dexcom G5 which requires inserting the sensor into my subcutaneous fat.

I do have to be very careful about inserting and I have inserted into muscle on a few occasions (not fun), but it's just a matter of squeezing the insert site to bunch your fat up and then inserting.

I suppose if you get down to 6% body fat you may have issues but 8-12% body fat will definitely show your abs and your insertions shouldn't be too difficult.

I've been using a pump with body fat at around 12-14% and I can safely say that I have had no problems at all. You'll be fine unless you go super lean, as @TorqPenderloin says.
