[QUOTE="bossie, post: 437505, member: 86693"] Hi, I always disliked injecting in my tummy and mainly rotated between my arms and my thighs. When I went on an insulin pump I was told, like you, that I must not insert the cannula in my arms - I asked the reason and she couldn't give me a decent one, she just said that they discourage pumpers from injecting in arms. Now i've been on the pump for 4 months and always use my arms and thighs - i've used my tummy once but find it more comfortable on my arms and thighs - it's us wearing the pumps not them, and it works just as well in the arms and in my case, it seems to work even better. What the DSNs don't know, won't hurts :) I really hope your daughter comes around and decides to give it a go, it has made my life so so so much easier and I wish more people had the opportunity to use an insulin pump.
