You need to move the site around your starting to get scar tissue there and it takes 2 weeks + to get rid of

@xBenHammondzz Thanks Ben. I'm finding the same thing in general with the MDI that I've been on for just over a year. I'm getting the pump in 2 days and cannot wait to see the change, and not having to stick myself so many times each day. From what others have posted here, it's not terrible and in fact is pretty easy to manage.

@andy957 if you put it in a fatty part if your stomach it doesn't hurt but if you put it in a thinner part like by your muscle or just a thinner part it does hurt a little and watch out for veins cause it hurts a little when you get a vein and will bleed a little

GREAT JOB!! Question: did it really hurt when you inserted the needle (I saw the "Ouch" comment but thought maybe you were kidding)? Or did you not even feel it?

Thanks for this video, I'm much older than you but am starting on this pump next week and you really made me understand better how it works.

Your doing great job with that pump kid. But I noticed you were Swollen on your left side, and you inserted your infusion set there. you should try to move sites everytime. you should even try to put it on your leg, if your swollen on both sides of your belly.

But there´s one thing I want to mention, you complied that the infusion set hurted a bit. Then you should try to get sets with smaller needles. Over longterm it damages the nerves in the muscles if they always get so deep.

@putsipa Temperory "cure". there is a big study going on right now. Which is that they implant BETA-cells into peoples pancreas and around 40-50% of the diabetics didnt need insulin for about 2 years or only just very litle. but some others cells just vanished away in a few months. So this is still in a test state
