Roop replied to Christina's discussion 'First day and site stings when I bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've had the same thing happen in my legs and abdomen. The first 9 years of injecting the silhouette was fine, it's been this past year where I feel like I'm running out of painless spots. I've had many bloody tubes this past…"

Christina commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"I just had to share with someone :) my waking BG was 95 all thanks to my new pump! In the 7 years I have had type 2 I have never had a waking BG under 110"
Christina replied to Corrine's discussion 'How can I lower fasting sugar levels?'"My blood sugars ran like that too. Try testing when u wake up in the middle of the night to see what your running it will help you see if maybe you are running low and your body starts to release sugar and that could be causing your high.all through…"
Christina replied to nataliant's discussion 'Type 1, First Pregnancy, Struggling with Guilt/Sadness'"I wasn't quite in the same boat since I'm type 2 insulin dePendent.

Christina replied to Christina's discussion 'First day and site stings when I bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Thanks for all the help! I have been running low all day so I know I am getting insulin. The site isn't sore or red so I think I'm going to stick it out till tomorrow and if it still bugging me I will change the site. I'm so thankful…"
Kath replied to Christina's discussion 'First day and site stings when I bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"It happens occasionally to me also esp. after a new insertion site. The areas vary in sensitivity. But it's good to rotate sites to avoid scarring."
Ed replied to Christina's discussion 'First day and site stings when I bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I get that occasionally too and sometimes its just being near a nerve. But if it happens after a few days you may want to change the site early cause it could be getting infected. I notice it stings more when I am physically active and then take a…"
Life-long Learner replied to Christina's discussion 'First day and site stings when I bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've been pumping with a minimed pump for a decade now. After much consideration of pump brands, I recently upgraded to the latest Paradigm. I have occasionally had both what you described and much more rarely what Eric described. Based solely…"

DiabEric replied to Christina's discussion 'First day and site stings when I bolus' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"It happened to me, but on the second day on a site.
