Do you have a system to track how well you are rotating?


I've been pumping for 18 of the 41 years I've been t1. The scar tissue is everywhere and I must change my set at least every other day now. I've got a lot of places I just can't go anymore, and I try not to go near a site within at least a month. I am short and not too big so there's not much available real estate. I was just wondering if you have a system and how it's working for you.

I've been pumping for two years and use areas all around my waist. Looking down from overhead and starting at my navel as 12 o'clock, I use from 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock, in this order: 8,4,9,3,10,2,11,1. Additionally at 8 and 4 (and occasionally other locations) I will do a low and high so I get two sites before moving on. Using this rotation, it is easy to keep track of where's next.
