[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2105036, member: 420515"] It's not as simple as that. Sure, injection for injection, the cannula is more likely to cause lipohypertrophy. But it's not injection for injection. For me (and I know I'm an extreme case) it was one cannula or over 50 syringes. Six months after going onto the pump my lipo was decreasing, three years later there's very little left. Insulin absorption is affected by the rate at which the insulin is injected. Pick the slow bolus rate on the pump and the insulin absorbs better than if a large dose is given all at once via a syringe. There is a 'threshold large dose' below which it doesn't make any difference, I suspect its user dependent. This theory is brought to you via a group of diabetologist and endocrinologist consultants trying to figure out why I don't react 'normally' to insulin. [/QUOTE]
