Okay fit I need your help in this. I'm a type one diabetic and am very insulin dependent. I have an insulin pump which I use all day every day. Sadly, I am also trying to get very fit and I am having issues. I typically inject my insulin pump on my stomach, but that is he only location I am still carrying a good amount of fat and am trying to make my stomach as lean as possible. When I started lifting, my legs had enough fat to inject the pump on the side of my thigh, but now my legs are so lean that the insulin pump won't deliver if I try to attach the port there. Are there any other locations besides the stomach which have enough fat where I could inject the pump without issue?

>tldr diabetic looking for place to install pump other than legs or stomach

Lower back depending on your weight distribution

I would have thought it would, but it keeps giving me issues and saying it is unable to deliver the medicine. I figure it has to muscle related because when I stand and the muscle is flexed, it does not work. If I lay down or release the pressure on the muscle, it is able to deliver a little before then failing again

Hey OP, diabetic of 13 years here, been lifting for 3 years, honestly I just keep using my stomach, unfortunately for you and me, even if we get down to 4%bodyfat our stomach will still retain a little bit of fat just because that's where the insulin is first recieved into the body.

There really isn't a better place. Faustman labs in Boston is working on a cure though, hopefully they get it done soon lol

That was my fear, which was why I switched to the legs. I was hoping that if I hid the location of insulin input i would be able to get my stomach to the point I want it to be. I'm going to try lower back like the other anon said but am not too optimistic at this point
