[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2121676, member: 475037"] Every once in a while I get what I call a bad site. I kind of know the areas to stay away from, but I just get too close or???? One of the areas is where I used to give myself shots for years and another is my appendix scar area within 3 inches of that. I also can't use my lower back or love handles. But I can use every area above my belly button all the way across to the sides. In fact my preferred spot is right under my bra line or almost completely on my sides. I also know a couple of people that have issues with cannulas and have to use tubed pumps so that they can use steel sets so they don't react to it. Because once you react you won't absorb insulin well. There is someone that has to change her sets every 2 days because they react if it's left in more than 2 days. You might try switching it out every 2 days to see if that prevents it. [/QUOTE]
