[QUOTE="teen-girl, post: 525577, member: 43407"] does it hurt? Not really it stings when you first put the set in and sometimes it may hurt if you knock it or after its been in a few days. Mine also tends to be quite itchy when I first put it in is it easy for people to notice? Not really, there's plenty of ways to hide it and when your eating its easier to hide then when you have to stop and do an injection what if i don't like it? As far as I know you can talk to your doctor and switch back to injections, as the pump I have was used my another girl for a few months before she changed her mind. But make sure you give it a good few months before making up your mind as it takes some getting used to what do i do if people are mean about it? Tell them what it is and that you have to wear it to live, they kind of can't be mean about it then! Try to teach them a little about it as they probably don't have a clue is there clothes that i can't wear because it will be visible? Not really, theres always ways to hide it, in your pocket if you wearing jeans, on a leg strap if your wearing a skirt, or in the middle of you bra strap as nobody looks there anyway! Let me know if you have any more questions :) [/QUOTE]
