running out of stomach space
Boy, I’m eager for the responses to this one too! I realized last night
while doing a site change that my abdomen (the only area I’ve felt
comfortable using) is full of old-site red dots, and there aren’t many
places LEFT that are more than an inch away from old sites. (That’s
even with using Polysporin after every change, which somebody on here
recommended and which seems like a great idea!)
I guess I can try another area, but it’ll mean getting the longer tubing
if I want to keep wearing the pump in my bra…and I hate to order a
shipment of 43" Silhouettes if it turns out 23" would’ve been okay.
Laurie, pumping for 4 months/5 days

Laurie…I use the 24 inch tubing and have no problems at all keeping my
pump in my bra…..good luck-I hate the 42 inch tubing-my blood sugars
arent’ near as stable-I guess because it takes twice as long for the insulin
to get to my body! lol Good luck!

Well Laurie I guess it was me that suggested Polysporin. It does work well
but I also go for massage therapy on the abdomen area only, twice a month
and that seems to speed healing. (by increasing blood flow to that area) I
also switch sides every 2 months, that way one side gets a rest while the
other gets the pin cushion treatment.LOL SWL
By the time I return to the rested side all the marks are gone.
