[QUOTE="sticks71, post: 363880, member: 54789"] Hi Firstly congrats on getting a pump. I'm sure you will soon start seeing the benefits of pump therapy. In answer to your question, yes you will have to shave the hair right back, otherwise the cannula won't stick properly. The first time I had a cannula fitted, I shaved the day before to get rid of all the hair. Going on from that, you will probably just need to shave the site that you are going to use on the day. Hope that helps, and good luck! [/QUOTE]
