  How often do you get bruises at injection sites or device sites?
  The only time I get bruises is when I leave a site in too long [my normal is 5 days].

  How often do you get bruises at injection sites or device sites?
  With tru-steel and Dexcom G6, almost never. Doesn't make a lot of sense, because I'm usually covered in black and blue spots from just bumping into things. Think it must be old age...

  Device sites 100% every single time 🤬 Injection sites very very rarely, only when I hit a capillary/get hit-nudged during the injection itself… ouch

  Only a few times in almost nine years. Never on Cgm sites, only pump sites, and most were from Medtronic Quickserter. My son has had only one or two bruises since we switched to steel insets six months after going on a pump.

  Often. Except for a two year vacation in 2019-2020, I’ve been on a pump for 25 years and infusion set sites have caused scarring. Though I had two years of no pumping, I’m back on the pump, using TruSteel instead of cannulas but I still bruise, though they’re mostly yellow. Still hunting for new places for infusion set sites. Frustrating.
