I've been pumping for about 5-6-ish years. I get that problem too sometimes. I saw a pump educator recently and she told me that a lot of long-time pumpers have this problem because they just start pumping into scar tissue which doesn't absorb the insulin as well. She told me to use the same side of my stomach for one or two changes (just far away from each other) to give the other side a longer period to heal.
I hope that helps!
