The pump site refuse to deliver insulin and the CGM site was the only time I had a sensor break on me.<br /><br />I keep trying and listening to people's advice on insertion, but it just doesn't work!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834565473474357037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-47500346469878452722011-10-14T15:20:09.163-04:002011-10-14T15:20:09.163-04:00My thighs used to be my fave site, but now they ar...My thighs used to be my fave site, but now they are my least fave. Once I switch from tummy to thigh my BGs get all jacked up and wonky instead of steady. But I keep going back to them for the same reason you do - to give the other spots on my body a break.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031140561895334532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-88434863075579504212011-10-14T13:56:38.912-04:002011-10-14T13:56:38.912-04:00I use thigh site for CGM only.

My son is 5 and rather skinny, so I keep his belly and butt for insulin site and arms and thigh for his CGM. <br /><br />I was wondering if you use the inner or outter thigh!?<br /><br />=0)Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643177461882423972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-2499775532708700102011-10-14T13:14:25.855-04:002011-10-14T13:14:25.855-04:00Grace rocks a good Pod on the thigh!

She says it's hard to 'run like the wind' when she has a Pod on her thighs.<br />Which I totally believe. :0)Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-79326891746910812042011-10-14T12:37:47.772-04:002011-10-14T12:37:47.772-04:00Same here.

Although, I almost feel like I'm walking on eggshells when I have thigh sites in - I tend to be more cautious about my movements and how I walk, get out of chairs, bend, etc. Because I feel like they're not as secure or stable or able to withstand the regular life activities as other places that might be more protected. It's probably more in my mind than anything. But they do end up hurting and not working in less time than other sites.Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-81526159593495397212011-10-14T12:18:15.477-04:002011-10-14T12:18:15.477-04:00Thigh sites and I also have the love/hate thing go...Thigh sites and I also have the love/hate thing going on. I love them for so many of the same reasons you do: extra real estate, a break from the midsection, sometimes I get a great spot (it's totally random) that works really well for a long time (I use stainless steel), and it's a less obvious location. BUT. I've ripped so many of them out in the restroom, it's not funny. It's so annoying. So then I'm totally on point to try and remember and take care not to yank it, but good grief, it can be hard to keep it all together when I have to GO. >;) I love to have it as an option, though! Can't believe I only started using thigh sites in the last few years.Sarah/@smartDpantshttp://www.smartdpants.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-267459727423832782011-10-14T12:17:48.135-04:002011-10-14T12:17:48.135-04:00i've been wanting to try a thigh site for a wh...i've been wanting to try a thigh site for a while now, but have been to chicken to try it. i'd like to give it a go on the next weekend site change. but i'll probably chicken out then too :/Stephiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744376846424609449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-9509350966976822692011-10-14T11:42:03.861-04:002011-10-14T11:42:03.861-04:00I love them for their effectiveness and hidden-nes...I love them for their effectiveness and hidden-ness but they always end up really hurting after a day and a half. <br /><br />I think I'd prefer to just make my own insulin from now on :)Abbyhttp://www.sixuntilme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-31305568696128683022011-10-14T11:41:15.858-04:002011-10-14T11:41:15.858-04:00I have many of the same issues - love the change o...I have many of the same issues - love the change of location, but sites don't last as long.
