Why Insulin Pump Sites Fail (Scar Tissue, Inflammation & Blood Sugar Spikes)


Listen Later

If you're on an insulin pump and feel like your sites just randomly stop working, this episode is for you.

We're talking about one of the most frustrating (and under-discussed) parts of diabetes: pump site issues, scar tissue, inflammation, and failed infusion sets - and why they seem to get worse the longer you've had diabetes!

This isn't meant to scare you off pump therapy - it's meant to help you get better results from the technology you're already using.

If you've ever changed a site, done everything "right," and still watched your blood sugar skyrocket… you're not alone.
