Hello,
So I will hold my hands up and be completely honest (no one is allowed to tell me off ok!) I have used my tummy to inject my insulin, I've got into really bad lazy habits of not changing my needle every time and I tend not to rotate very much. I think it's because as the site has become more overused it's less painful and it's easy to access tummy area when in public.
I'd love advice on:
What I can do to help tender sites that I have previously used on my tummy, when I pinch it it's not painful as such, just tender. It feels the same as my other stomach areas so not lumpy... Does massaging it help, creams etc?
Any advice on new areas, how to make it less painful, more manageable when at work, or out in public, do you go to the toilet for privacy etc?
Thank you so much
