Here's the rut I am in.
After one year of pumping, using the same infusion sets and the same area of my body (of course I rotated - but it was only my abdomen) I am seeing this from my sensor.
It's a slow, hour over hour climb.
And when I bolus to correct, no reaction.
For the uninitiated, this is a site failure.
Insulin is no longer being absorbed as it should be.
What is frustrating is that I did not anticipate this, and so only recently did I begin exploring other infusion sets and other areas. I now have to speed up the exploration.
The good news is that we can rotate on our arms, legs and back - plenty of real estate to choose from. And the other infusion sets come in different lengths and angles.
Today, I am testing the Sure-T on the back of my right arm.
So lesson here, use as much of your body early so you are never in a pinch.
