Jennifer replied to davamlenz's discussion 'Question for the insulin Pumpers!!'"I use the back of my arms, flanks (love handles), thighs and belly sites. I try to rotate they around. I tend to use my things for CGM placement as I tend to have the best correlation there."
Kari replied to davamlenz's discussion 'Question for the insulin Pumpers!!'"I too have used a pump about two years. For the first year I just used my tummy.
