Hiya, just wondering if anyone has come across similar/ knows how to fix it:
I have found especially recently that when i remove a pump site i am left with a little red dot where the site was, which is fine but they seem to last a lot longer than they used to! I have found that especially switching from the medtronic mio infusion sets (90 deg) to the 30 deg sets that it has gotten worse. I much prefer being able to check that the tubing has actually gone in, as i have a lot of problems with the 90 sites bending on entry but not happy about the scarring and often more painful sites! Unfortunately as i am on the more lean/ muscular side i have found that the centre of my stomach - where i store more fat - works a lot better for pump sites but this means that area of my stomach is getting pretty populated with little scars.
any advice welcome!
