What are the best spots to put a pumpsite?
As in, when you are a diabetic, where are places that you can put your pumpsite? Is the thigh a good place(if you have large thighs)?

I rarely use my thighs as I have to shave them first, otherwise the adhesive doesn't stick very well.
I use my abdomen ... front and sides; upper outer quadrant of each buttock, and my lower back, with the occasional thigh thrown in every now and again.
Unfortunately, I can't upload the picture as Yahoo Answers is experiencing problems ... again. Take a look at the following diagram, ma'am.
Edit:
I see the children are still playing with their thumbs down. Obviously, it's someone that has little, to no experience of using a pump, or someone that doesn't know about legitimate, safe areas that CAN be used for the insertion of a cannula for insulin pump use. I suggest that, until that person has 'grown up' a little, and gained a bit of education, that they go and play somewhere else.
