In the application process, we pinch around the body of the pod (under it of course), and also push down on the pod with a finger as we insert the canula. Still, occasionally it does hurt. ---

@bpollina, I found this from another thread… from @Aaron’s comment. Don’t know if you already know this?? I plan on reading and rereading everything before I sit down with it tomorrow— and then try to erase all the talk of blood… Have you had problems with bleeding?? ---

So will the box for in a little community mailbox? Or will it need to come to my door? I’m nervous all of a sudden… like… you ever see the movie _Seven_? ---

> [@Eric](#): > > And you won’t even need to open it to be horrified. Wow, that is so creepy!! Nicely done, @Eric. For some reason I’m being a stinker today and stoking fires just to watch them burn. Hmmmm. I’ll go self-analyze now. ---

I have been wondering for 2 days what kind of box @Eric could possibly use that would be horrifying to me but bring him such sheer delight… Honestly, I was expecting some kind of “female product” box because that’s the very thing that immature men find hysterical (and think women are horrified by), but I couldn’t have been more wrong… It _was_ horrifying and sent a wave of shock and confusion rippling through my body… ---

Is it weird that I’ve actually wondered about this a few times today? Along with wondering if the home renovation blogger I read has had her house painted yet? Perhaps it’s time to step away from the web… Edited to add… I should have started with “Good work, Eric”. Too funny 😄 ---

I have built a lot of things in my diabetes lab, and have a lot of pieces and parts from different things over the years. Lots of different infusion sets and stuff from different companies. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/9/928c3e6e6f8bf1b65f9361cbe47408df5c2ccece.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/1/1fd738dad7a63da72af41d3ab128c13bd46469b1.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/9/9e2f024aea41a4166d49e3a343e02ee577825354.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/5/5bf6b3a19def8e28343d9072c9bb79c4b37485c4.jpeg) ---
