Help ..... yet again I'm developing an abscess at my injection site. I alternate it but I keep getting these complications. My sugars are 27 tonight and I'm so fed up . Any ideas ?

With numbers running that high I would take myself off to A&E, they could be because you have an infection that needs sorting, either way getting help from a Dr is the only way to get yourself sorted.

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Worries me that you say injection site... Are you properly rotating?

Hope your levels have come down but at 27 you need to probably inject a little extra correction than normal...

Have you bathed site with diluted tcp or salt n water?

If you have done all of this and do not see levels lower then you need to let go of your principles surrounding hospirals or go to a walk in emergency centre...

Everybody keeps saying A&E but most towns have walk in emergency centres nowadays.
