I hope I can get that feeling of where to put the site, I am new to this and so far having problems, I use the silhouette and it does hurt and I put the sensor in for the cgm and hit a vein in my side, it bled and would not stop, wasted that expensive sensor, had to find another spot. I worry about putting it somewhere besides my stomach I guess because I have never done it. Maybe once I try this many times I will know where is best right?
Try the meaty part of your hips... like almost back to your butt. It doesn't seem to get in the way as much for me there, plus it frequently doesn't hurt when I put a new set in.
Absolutely. I can always tell when a site is going to hurt! It is really funny because I will spend like five minutes gently prodding along my abdomen trying to find a spot that hasn't been used as much, but still won't hurt. My mom laughs at me every time because she doesn't understand how I know before I put my site in, but I just do!
