[QUOTE="Nomi, post: 1548855, member: 11529"] Hi guys, So recently I've been told to stop putting my cannulas in my stomach and sides (love handles!) area because the sites have broken down and don't absorb properly. I was wondering what other places people use? I have the insight pump with tubing, but I am happy to stick the cannula wherever if I can just get the insulin to go in reasonably well. I have tried my legs in the past but didn't get on with it, tried again today and my blood sugar is just creeping up as if I never bothered to take anything at all. I tend to have the same issue with my lower back/ bum. Is there anywhere else I can try? My DSN basically told me there is nothing I can do and I just have to keep trying. But I'm really fed up of feeling like [emoji90] and like I'm gonna fall asleep at any second. Any tips and trick would be really helpful! Thanks Nomi [/QUOTE]
