Hello, I posted this in the Ask A Question thread but had no response, thought I could narrow down my target audience helpers here. I'm a type one diabetic of four years, last night after I injected my 24u of Lantus, I noticed a gross looking bump had appeared. I know that insulin pouches can occur but I thought that was more of a build up rather than an instant lump. The insulin I used was the last in a pen, not out of date, with a fresh needle, waited 5-10secs before pulling out and massaging the area with my knuckles afterwards. I did it on my outer thigh. I rotate around my outer thighs frequently, only doing my basal injections there. I've had tiny lumps appear before when I've pulled out too fast but nothing of this size. It is quite hard, tender to touch and itches slightly. Since last night it has dispersed a lot but I can still feel a lump. Has anyone else had an experience like this?
