[QUOTE="Cumberland, post: 1225826, member: 190075"] I use tummy for bolus and upper legs for basal can't get the hang of it in my arms and not tried my bum Slow and steady injecting but sometimes especially novorapid (belly) sometimes sticks and sometimes feels like it stings a little Toujeo pen is easier to administer and I inject a sizeable amount into the top of my legs without any stinging or bruising I'm on 210 units Toujeo currently titrating once a day and on a 5 units to 10g carbs ratio for novorapid with food I have been told never to pinch skin or use insulin taken straight out of the fridge to let it remain at room temp for 3 hours before use but I guess we have all been advised different methods by our respective teams Good luck to the OP [/QUOTE]
