One tip that I would like to share is in regards to the location of the infusion set. In an attempt to give my outer abdominal area a rest, I decided to move inward closer to my belly button. In doing this, I later learned that it was directly where the crease resides when I sit down. Over a few days, the site became irritated and the glue actually started to wear off because of the constant stretch and crease movement.
It actually created more stress on me because I was constantly worrying about if the glue was going to give and expose the site. Also, the movement on the site caused it to become irritated and itchy. In the end, I prematurely changed the site location just for peace of mind and risk of infection.
Next time, I will check my crease before choosing a location.
