[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 359493, member: 12578"] Here's a pic of possible sites [url=http://www.springnow.com/infusion-site-guide.html]http://www.springnow.com/infusion-site-guide.html[/url] Personally, I don't use an inserter and am not as flexible as I once was so couldn't manage to insert as far round as the man in the picture has. I probably get the fastest/best absorption in my thighs however I haven't found it necessary to change rates for site. I rotate thighs, hips and as far round on my bum as I can get . Occasionally I use my stomach but a bit in trepidation as if It's at all warm I get an allergic reaction from the adhesive which produces itching and red welts so I end up having to change anyway. Have never used arms though read of people that do .I think a lot of people who use tubeless pumps like the arms as a site. Have you seen the John Walsh book Pumping insulin? I found that invaluable at the start and still refer to it from time to time. [/QUOTE]
