Hi,
I'm new to pumping, and am currently using a Cellnovo patch type pump; therefore it can be placed on my arm/leg/stomach etc.
If any of you have done Ju-Jitsu or Judo, you'll know how physical it can be with all the throws and arm locks. I'm looking for advice from anyone who does/has experience in this type of martial art to determine where would be the best place to put my cannula, to avoid it being hit whilst training. I trained with my cannula on my tricep this week and had to remove the cannula after 30 minutes!
Thanks.

I would take it off altogether. if you find you are high afterwards try bolusing an adequate amount prior.

I do take the pump off. My question was more about cannula placement. I don't want to have to take the cannula out before training, so am looking for advice on the best placement of the cannula whilst training.
