OK, story time.
I came to Japan (from America) in late August to study abroad for nine months. About a month in my pump sites (that I have been putting on my butt cheeks) started to get REALLY pink and itchy around the pump site with about a two inch radius in a perfect circle. My first thought was that I wasn't spreading out the sites enough between changing so I put the next one on my stomach which I haven't done since February. But the next day it started to get really pink and itchy. So then I changed it to my thigh. A day later, really pink and itchy.
I'm coming to the forum before seeing a doctor because I'm trying to avoid a $1,000 visit bill for someone to look at it. If I need to, I'll go.
OK thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanksssssss.
Additional info: I've been Type 1 for two years, using the pump for a little over one year. Never had a problem until now.
