Locations for inserting infusion sets

Shown here are the best body areas (shaded) for infusion set insertion.

Note: Work with your healthcare professional to determine the sites that will work best for you.

Infusion set insertion site guidelines

Avoid inserting the infusion set:

• Into the 2-inch (5.0 cm) area around your belly button
• Where your body naturally bends a great deal
• In areas where clothing might cause irritation (for example your beltline)
• Where you have scarred or hardened tissue or stretch marks

Your infusion sites should be at least:

• 2 inches (5.0 cm) away from your sensor site
• 2 inches (5.0 cm) away from your belly button
• 3 inches (7.5 cm) away from the previous site

Be sure to rotate your sites.
