This will hopefully will change in 10+ years with the nano technology that I have seen B-D and others developing. The next generation of cannulas will be barely visable to the naked eye (and not really cannuals at all) and it will likely change the absorption of insulin (and hopefully the insulins change too - ala <a href="http://www.smartinsulin.com/" rel="nofollow">SmartInsulin</a>). The patch pumps should become even more band-aid/patch like. There is a lot of technical stuff floating around about how deep these will actually go -- and the same may be true for CGM sensors. But the really interesting part is going to see all of these moving parts come together over the years. -Cary Jerry,

The area around an infusion site naturally has a higher level of insulin and therefore a lower level of glucose. A sensor near an infusion site will always be inordinately influenced by bolus and basal insulin. Insulin infusion sites and CGM sensors will likely remain separate.
