My Favorite Insulin Pump Infusion Set Sites | She's Diabetic

[@lakegirl239]

Great video. I rotate starting with R upper arm, R butt, R abdomen, R thigh. Then repeat the rotation on the left. Then factor in CGM placement and it’s not always exactly in order, but it works for me. As for tubing catching on doorknobs and pulling the site out, I always tape the tubing to my skin about 3-4” from the insertion site so if there’s a snag, it will pull on the taped down section and the insertion site is safeguarded.

[@TypeOneTalks]

Great video! I think we pumpers always need ideas for new sites! I love the lower back. Use the whole waist area a lot! Never tried the first two sites you showed. Honestly, I would be scared to pull it out from inner leg or upper arm. But challenge accepted! I will try it! Nice outfit change between the 3 parts;)

Thank you! I’m new too T1D as I was a Type II. Anyway, just after my 69th birthday my Doctor was trying to understand why in 18 months I went from an A1C of 6 to 9. He had me do some labs and we found out that I was LADA with only 0.7% of pancreas produced insulin. I’m now a T1D and my Endocrinologist is great. I first got rid of my diabetes oral medication and started Basal once a day. Then I got a CGM and started taking Blousing before meals. Long story short I got my pump about 10 days ago and it has been amazing…I don’t have to take 5+ injections daily! Thank you and many others who share their experiences! God bless you!❤

Hi Andrea, thank you for inspiring me to get my blood glucose under control. I have been a diabetic for 25 years, and not really serious about getting better in managing it until i stumbled upon your KZbin channel last November 2020 . My A1C has been between 12-14 range for the last 10 years. After watching some of your videos, i decided to get a Dexcom CGM and Tslim pump to help manage my diabetes. I am excited to share my lab result i received today, my A1C is at 7.9!!! Isn't that amazing? I am so looking forward to maintain or better this result. Thank you

Hi Andrea, I just started using this Islet Insulin Pump. Traumatized from Medtronics Pumps. Forced to use it 2x’s in past & awoke 2x’s in hospital after being in a coma! Had severe hypoglycemia due to it. Not typical diabetic. Not hereditary for me. Thyroid was nuked by Naval hospital when I was 16 & they automatically stated I was type 1 but was mistake! I wasn’t! Ruined entire life. No MDs could figure me out, refused to see me; 1 office told me to figure out own dosages by myself. Told them NEVER tell a patient that. It could kill them. I wished I reported them! Luckily I survived. Ending up getting used to hypoglycemic episodes over 9 months & no longer feeling symptoms of severe hypoglycemia. (Will show bg in finger sticks as low as 17 or even LOW) Dexcom constantly beeped. I won’t feel it. Lost top teeth in past & had to get them replaced while being in icu for 3 days. I’m now trying to learn this Islet Pump almost 2 months since UCSD can’t really figure me out. They’re the last MDs willing to help me. I appreciate areas other than tummy! My hubby puts my Dexcom G6 on my lower back for me & it’s painful! They want it on my belly but I keep bleeding each time! They want me on the islet since insulin pens won’t suffice. So I’m trying to figure out where to put it. Have bad bruises from it on my belly f bleeding. When I remove the site after 3 days it’s purple & inflamed. Don’t know where else to put it. Will try to put it on other areas like you’ve shown aside from my lower back since I said my Dexcom G6 is back there & that’s painful as heck. TYVM you’re awesome!! 💯 Will try my arm or inner leg now…just have to see how to keep it from being snagged. I exercise a lot-biking. K enjoy your weekend & upcoming week ahead!!

Hi Andrea, I start my pump journey tomorrow. I found your videos as I was searching for pump information. Have been T1D for 52 years and have lived through many approaches from urine testing to blood testing to cgm (I have a Dexcom 2 years now). Have online training and setup for my T-slim-X tomorrow. I love your videos. So encouraging and informative. Blessings, Ken

Hey! I'm in the exact same situation right now. Getting my pump tomorrow. T:slim pump too. How'd it go?

[@laurakr8487]

When I started on my first pump I was told to only use my abdomen and not to use other areas but I think advice has changed now, it took me a long time to move away from there and now I mainly use my thighs. I have quite chunky thighs so plenty of space there 😂 I'm quite keen to have a go using my arms but I have a libre and I'm not sure about how far apart they may need to go, I will see if I can find out so I can give my arms a go. Thanks for sharing your favourite sites, it's always useful to see what other people do 🙂

[@laurakr8487]

So I put it on my arm but I think my tubing is too short since I like to clip my pump on my waistband, it feels like it's pulling when I move my arm 😬 I have 60cm tubing and I just ordered 3 months-worth of consumables so next time I'll order some 80cm tubing sets, hopefully I'll remember!

[@ShesDiabetic]

Good for your for trying the arm!! But oh - I'm so sorry about the short tubing! I don't know about you but that feeling of pulling drives me wild - I don't like it at all! At least you've had a go at it and can order longer tubing next time! With regards to how far apart the Libre and pump site should be - I find as long as the site and Libre aren't right next to each other - you're good to go!!! Good luck my diabuddy and thank you for sharing your experience here!! 💙💙💙

I went for the other arm this time but it's good to know when I get my longer tubing I can put both on the same arm 😊

[@leewillinger3824]

Thank you for your time and effort in making this video. I have had type 1 diabetes since 1985. I used shots for my insulin delivery until 2007 but am now on a pump and CGM. The addition of a CGM makes my blood sugar control very good. I have very few low blood sugar events whereas with shots I had low blood sugar events at least twice a month. My A1C has never been above 6.0 and mostly I have an A1C of 5.7 or lower. Your video helped me with alternative spots on my body to attach my infusion sets. Lately, however, I have had some blockages in the sites I use for my infusion sets. I have reversed some of these blockages by using my thumb and forefinger to massage the infusion set locations. I have used the area on each side of my navel and have had great results with my infusion set success. I also use the area on my hips to attach my infusion sets and this area also has responded to my massaging the area to reduce infusion set blockages. I still have to repeat the placement of the infusion set due to scar tissue buildup but as I continue to massage the infusion sites my success has increased, and the infusion blockages have stopped occurring as often as they used to. So, the point of all this is to encourage pump users to massage daily the older infusion set sites. It will be a while before the sites are unblocked but I believe my success is positive affirmation that this will work to reduce future infusion set blockages. Any comments you have about this comment will be appreciated and I look forward to future episodes.

Is worth it to go from the pen to the pump. My doctor is not strongly recommending it for me as I have “decent enough” control. Also thank you for these videos - been a huge help

I think it's 100% a personal decision. Just because you have good control on pens doesn't mean a pump would be a bad decision for you. I made this video about my honest truth of switching to an insulin pump and you may find it useful! Truly it's been a game changer for me personally, and significantly improved my life, but that's just me, and we're all unique! I would just do some more research and listen to your own instincts, thats' the best I can say! I hope this helps you!

I just started using a pump in October and I feel like I've been abusing my tummy/abdomen area, so I should definitely give these spots a try. 😂 You mentioned some sites having better absorption than others. As someone who uses Tandem Control IQ, I was wondering if you change your pump settings depending on the site.

[@ShesDiabetic]

Oh a new pumper 😍! I hope you're enjoying it and it's all working well for you Lora, and I'm glad this might have given you some more site ideas! It took me a while to get myself to change my site area because quite frankly I was scared too (just me being silly I guess!) I don't actually go so far as to change my pump settings, as like you, I use the Tandem IQ system, but I do keep it in mind with my mealtime bolus, maybe taking a little less or more with meals according to my sites' absorption rates, but a lot of it is a little bit of a guessing game of course! Big love and joy to you my fellow Diabuddy and thank you for watching! 💙

I just started a new infusion site 2 days ago on my right side just above beltline and just passed halfway back. My thighs were overused. Yesterday my BG's were all in the high 200's and by 5pm it was over 300! I thought maybe I was coming down with something because when I'm sick it almost always runs high. My stomach was feeling slightly nauseous so I wasn't sure if I was sick or it was because my BG stayed so high for so long and I wasn't able to eat anything. And at one point I thought 'it's probably that smoke from those dang Canadians'! I'm in upstate NY and right now the skies are smoky yellow! Smells like I'm at a campfire. With no beer or marshmallows! 🙁

[@dwightl5863]

I use my abdomen and sides of my waist. Interesting that I was told when first starting that the abdomen is preferred because the absorption rate would be more consistent there than, as you noted, when wearing on you thigh. Question I have is how you can apply the infusion set to an area where one cannot use both hands? Enjoying your channel.

[@ShesDiabetic]

Thank you so much for you kind words! I have the auto soft inserter that I can actually use one handed so that's how I achieve the insertion with one hand. Actually it's the only one I've ever used so I don't have experience with anything else, but I really appreciate your question - because I never would have thought of this!

Thank you for the video. I started pumping (type II) in my late 50s. Wearing the pump on the waistband resulted in broken clips, ripped out infusion sites and all manner of problems. About three years ago I moved the pump into a pocket T-shirt with a small hole cut just above the pocket. I've always run the tubing to my abdomen without problem the arm and the leg are not sites I've tried. To be honest I'm concerned with flexibility in being able to reach those sites (I'm not in my late 60s). Any secrets for actually getting it inserted into the back of the arm? (FWIW I don't use the arm for my CGM either for the same reason.)

Hi Andrea. Thanks for the reply. Something you said helped me and I thought you’d like to know. It made so much sense but when you said the bit about putting your infusion set in a spot where one has a little more sub-Q tissue, “something something” lol, I moved my infusion set above my knee by about 5”, kind of medially. I have a little “soft bit” there and the absorption is great. Plus I love the infusion set away from the abdomen. Upper leg is good too but it gets in the way a bit more as you can imagine.

I'd love to find out how you guys are getting success with your inner leg. I've tried it 3 times now, and it either fails in usual fashion, or hurts like absolutely crazy where I have to rip it out. Or I insert it, and I wake up the next morning with my sugars rising at a steady level. My last few days have been mountains, spiking to 12 to 18, and sinking to 3 when it starts working, and then fails hours later for the spikes. And I'm not talking about inner leg, but every insertion site I've tried ends up with this formula. And no matter where I insert, these things are constantly failing on me just a few hours later. Where they should be working for 3 days. I'm just about to burst into tears out of frustration. These insertions do not work. Been on these things for 3 years now, Type 1 for 10+ years. Tried the AutoSoft 90 degrees and 30 degrees. Switched to 30 degrees, because they seem to work better. But still failing I swear, like 70%+ of the time. I don't have much body fat. Legs just feel like a thin layer of skin. Same with stomach. Just feel screwed, and also the OmniPod 5 is not available in South Africa. And I see Tslim x2 is not even approved for Type 1, like the OmniPod 5 is. For me they work absolutely great when the insertion itself works. And a big question for me is do the OmniPod 5 insertions keep failing. And is anyone else having such crazy failure rates? I feel like the only one who's going crazy with these failure rates. And its been months on end. Anyways, not even sure there's a solution forwards for me right now. Feel like I'm just shouting at the air for no solutions.

What about when you are wearing tight or slim jeans is it uncomfortable or can you see it through ??? Is it noticeable when you have it on your thigh

[@ShesDiabetic]

The site isn't noticeable at all I've found! But when I'm wearing really tight jeans and things like that I do have to be very creative about where I put the actual pump, because that can be quite tricky! The best I've found so far in those scenarios is to put it in my bra, either in front (between boobs) or to the side! I hope this helps friend!

This is a fantastic video. I’m getting ready to go on vacation to stay with friends at a beautiful ocean side cabin. I worked hard during the pandemic to build up a great looking body and I don’t want infusion set or CGM sensor showing. After vacation I will go back to using my stomach and arm for infusion set and sensor. Something I’ve been doing for almost 10 years could be valuable to your followers. I cut a small hole in the upper section of my front pocket of my pants. It’s high enough so nothing will fall through the whole like coins etc. When I first started doing this I sewed around the hole so that it didn’t open up, I found this wasn’t necessary. The holes don’t open up because there’s no tension on them. I can thread the infusion set connector through the hole so that it connects to my body and the pump simply sits in my front pocket. There’s no cord to catch on anything and it’s not visible at all!

What size tubing do you use? I’ve been using a pump 15 years but Tslim only 3. Wondering what size tubing to use tho if I decide to go back of arm.. I currently have the 24in and wondering if it will work..

[@williec6665]

I’m changing my set today, I want to use my legs for the 1st time. The outer thigh doesn’t hurt with the muscle there? I always use my stomach but I really need to give it a break.

[@ShesDiabetic]

I hear you! I use my inner/top thigh, so as to avoid the outer leg muscle, because - ouch - I would imagine that is quite painful indeed! But we're all different - what's painful for me may be very excellent for you and vice versa! Whenever I'm trying new sites I just have patience and if they hurt badly on insertion or cause me discomfort for an extended period of time I just remove it and change it early - that's my MO! Good luck with trying out a new site - and good for you for trying a new one out as well!! 😁

[@Landis_Grant]

Andrea, are you Italian American?

[@ShesDiabetic]

No, I'm actually more of Dutch/German heritage! 🥰

[@danielhanson6946]

Being lean are you finding issues with insulin flow being blocked? I feel that being lean there is issues with the insulin flow being blocked by hitting a muscle? So I always try to find a more "flabby" part but I'm below 15% body fat and finding it difficult to find a new spot? I use my inner thigh for my CGM and then used my upper buttocks for my infusion sets so I tried to find a new spot and tried the love handles to only have to change it out 3 times in one day due to insulin flow being blocked! Quite frustrating so I will attempt the lower back like you have but due to lifting weights wonder how the back of the arm will work.

[@ShesDiabetic]

I hear you! I don't personally find too many issues with the flow being blocked. But I do try to avoid muscle as I find that can be quite painful. I do know some extremely lean people that have benefited from a metal cannula as opposed to the plastic ones? Maybe this is something you could speak to your doctor about! Frustration with Insulin delivery is the worst so I really feel you and hope you're able to find a solution that works for you!

[@etucker5676]

Hi! I am almost exactly one year on my first pump and tried a leg site for the first time today! Sometimes I have considered using some medical tape for the extra tubing for when it gets in the way/ wiggles and is annoying. Any experience/ advice here???

[@ShesDiabetic]

OH NICE!!! And happy one year anniversary with your pump!!! I hear you on the strange wiggly tubing feeling!! I've always just sort of adjusted it, but never taped it down. Well, actually I did tape it down once but then it was a faff getting it untaped when I wanted to shower and all that jazz! So I just kind of wiggle it back, but I totally hear you and agree - it can certainly be an annoyance!!

[@etucker5676]

@@ShesDiabetic Thanks! I wondered if the tape would make it more annoying/ uncomfortable and you're right about showering! I forgot about that! :) AND I'd only really want to add a cost and step of medical tape if it really made a BIG, positive/ helpful difference! Appreciate the feedback! Be well!

Have you ever looked into the Omnipod, the tubeless pump? My daughter (9) was diagnosed not too long ago so we don't have a pump yet, but I have seen many parents talking about the Omnipod system. (we are in Canada if that matters)

[@ShesDiabetic]

I have indeed - I've always been very intrigued by the tubules system, but haven't been able to use it because my doctors/catchment within the NHS have not had that available to me as a pump option. I LOVE my TSlim right now though, because it's a somewhat automated system when used with the Dexcom and has allowed me to have really excellent time in range percentages. No matter what you and your sweet sweet daughter choose I wish you all the very best and a sincere wish that you find what works best for you!! PS - I should say a lot of parents like the Omnipod for their little ones because it's less likely to be pulled out via the tubing - so an excellent choice for wee ones! 💙💙💙

[@Gweeds13]

Thank you for the video! I’m switching to a Tandem pump w/ Dexcom sensor in a week or so and I ran into this video. The Tandem customer service asked me what kind of infusion set I wanted because they had a variety of them. I’m pretty active and on the leaner side and was wondering which infusion set you used? Is it the 90 degree one or the one inserted at an angle? Thank you for your time and the video! It helped a lot - I’ve built up some scarring because I overuse my favorite spots too often and this gave me some good ideas.

[@ShesDiabetic]

Oh I'm excited for you Bryan! I actually have now had experience with both the angled infusion set and the 90 degree one, and I can say I far far far prefer the 90 degree one, as I was getting a LOT of kinked cannulas with the angled infusion sets. It's just my experience, but that's my two cents! No matter what you do I hope you LOVE your new pump - I'm very excited for you! For me, it's been an absolute GAME CHANGER!!!

[@stoshkaras9779]

I’d be worried about hitting the femoral artery or nerve 😬

[@ShesDiabetic]

I don't know about the femoral artery, but I've had spots that are a little more sensitive than others, but I figure it's all very safe and have never had any issues with overwhelming blood loss or anything like that. The cannula is only 3-6mm long so it's a very very short one, if that gives you any reassurance!

[@TheDGomezzi]

The femoral artery is located very deep within your thigh, you could never hit it with an infusion site.

[@stoshkaras9779]

Maybe to deep for this tiny needle but it’s not to deep to easily cut. Trust me it’s one of the easiest sites to cut in our training

[@zaflorida1140]

Does anyone else’s abdomen look like a pin cushion? I can see every cannula entry point from the past few months if not years.

Suggestion for the long tubing issue you talked about as the 3rd site... place your pump on the opposite side of the infusion set. Cross your back to the front. Obviously it won't work if you have a 40 inch waistline. 😂😂😂

I'm so sorry to hear of your daughter's recent diagnosis, and your son's diagnosis Kay - oh my goodness what a lot to have going on through 2020 in addition to the pandemic. You both sound like extraordinary parents for coming here and communicating in this way, and please please please know that this will get easier. From a spiritual standpoint I have no idea why t1d happens to some people and not others, and to have it strike your children when they are so young. That's a lot to deal with, there's no denying it. But please know, and I can tell you honestly, I truly believe that type 1 diabetes has made me a better person. Yes, I have health challenges that effect my day to day and require my attention, but it's also made me into a more health conscious, empathetic and generally more grateful for the gift of life. I don't know if this helps you at all, but I wanted to share that with you as you grapple with and potentially struggle with the day to day for yourself and your children. I'm so glad you have a Dexcom - that will become (and probably has already become) your greatest ally and tool in all of this. Please know, you are not alone and the camaraderie and support that you've given to one another here is absolutely inspiring to witness and this will get you FAR! My love and strength to both of you - you guys are an inspiration and should be so proud of yourselves! 🌟🌟

Thanks for the video Andrea! I am getting my first pump in a few weeks (type 1 for 18 years now!) and something I’m scared about is inserting infusion sites on parts of my body that have accumulated a lot of scar tissue from daily injections and thus are decently painful, which is the main reason why I’m trying this out. Your videos absolutely have put me more at ease throughout this process, thank you!

It's been years since I've ripped out a site, which kinda surprises me. I have my canulas on my stomach about 3 inches from the middle, flipping sides each time. As a guy I keep my pump in my front left pants pocket. Tubing is tucked into my pocket, over my waistband, and under my shirt (24"). Sometimes it wants to stick out a little, but mostly it's just seen from my pocket up to my waistband. I've seen several other guys do this also. I have the tubing, other people might see it, but nobody has ever said anything. I might try the leg spot now that you've shown where/what works. I suspect this is a lot more challenging for women than guys. Do women pre-plan sites based on what they might be wearing for social events?

[@ShesDiabetic]

I hear you on the stomach sites! That's just never been one that works well for me, but that just goes to show how different we all are because I know a lot of people love their stomach sites! I can say from myself as a woman, if I have a specific outfit or event I know I'm going to be wearing something special for, I'll absolutely plan accordingly with my infusion set placement!
