Yes, this is how many shots a type 1 diabetic can expect to go through; per month. You can imagine how much scar tissue builds up because there are only so many different places on your body for needles. I think the hardest part for me is all of the scars I have from my pump sites and CGM. It is difficult to have to live with these scars all over my body for the rest of your life and know that they will never go away, rather there are more to come.
