New to an insulin pump - advice?

More or less over my entire rib cage. Like from the waist up towards the armpit and shoulder blades. Look at the right side of this picture How often/ much to rotate pump sites? - #18 by Aaron but carry the spots up higher on the back too. And on the sides, which are not shown in these photos.

Not much. On my sides it feels like the ribs are right under the skin, but if I pinch there’s at least a half inch in the pinch, and the infusion sets work fine…

I’d say probably it would be a problem. Anyway, why fight with questionable areas when there’s so much more skin surface available where you haven’t been injecting.

I agree. And now that they’re doing software updates to pumps, we can get a pump now and still enjoy any improvements that they release in software upgrades over the next few years.
