Three days ago, I tried using my leg for my infusion set site. As I mentioned when I first put it in, it felt a bit weird but seemed to be okay. The site lasted the three days; I took it out this morning though because the area on my thigh was getting sore yesterday. There was no bruising or anything that looked wrong with the site. My thought is that my thighs are moving a lot more than my torso in day to day life, which was irritating the area.
It was also a bit of an awkward place to deal with at times. Like I got worried I might knock it out while I was sleeping.
Other than that though, everything seemed fine. My glucose wasn't higher or lower than what I expected it to be, which was great. And like I said, the site lasted just fine. It even went in really easily, which I didn't expect for some reason.
So all in all, it's great to have this as an option for another site. But I don't think it's the best site to be using on a regular basis.
I think next time (not this time though - I went back to my side) I'm going to give my arm a try. I'll just have to make sure it's during a bit of a cold snap so I've got long sleeves on!
