Hello,
I’ve been on MDI insulin since March this year, late onset type 1. Most of the time it’s pretty painless and just get on with it without too much thought...but the last few days I’ve been really bruising and bleeding from where I’ve injected?! Help! Anyone else have this or know why? I’ve got yellow bruises about the size of a 50p coin, on my tummy, sides, top of bottom. My thighs don’t seem to bruise too much but breakfast one today did bleed! One yesterday on my abdomen really hurt and sort of bulged out, like a swelling, a hard lump that I could really feel, the went down and now bruised. Am I injecting wrong?
Thanks for any advice!
