I have developed indentions on my stomach where my insertion is for my pump. I move my sites every three days & do not re-use the spots. Could it be the insulin doing this, I use Humalog & always have in my pump. Are there other spots that works as well as the stomach? I am a small person so I don't have much room to work with on my stomach.

Hello! There are many different places you can use your insulin pump. You can use your thighs (inner and outter), lower back, stomach, buttocks and the quadrant area. I would say anywhere there is meat:) I am not sure about the indentions, I've never experienced them before. I can witness the marks that are left from the infusion site, they can be a little ugly. I hope this helps.
