Type 1 Diabetic, Scar Tissue In Abdomen, Have Keloids, Had C Section. Using Insulin Pump Infusion Set. Solution?

I am a type 1 diabetic age 50. I've had diabetes since I was 11 and have built up so much scar tissue in my abdomen area that I can no longer use it because of absorption issues. I scar easily and have keloids in areas. I consulted a plastic surgeon who was going to do research since he hadn't seen this. I don't have enough areas to insert my insulin pump infusion set and need some solution. I have loose skin from 2 C-sections that I would like removed also. I've read about this online but haven't seen how it is treated.

Thank you,
Julie Tucker
