Hey all
When I was diagnosed 6 months ago, I wasn't shown how to inject or where, so I learnt most of what I know by researching on the internet. I had two check ups with two different nurses and after three months they didn't ask to check where I was injecting. I inject insulin three times a day in my legs and Lantus in the evening in my stomach. I have got used to this and find that I am comfortable with it, although I know it probably more effective the other way round!
I think I am running out of space to inject and feel that some parts of legs are sore because of injecting in the same place.
Have I missed a trick, should I be doing something different? Should I carry on and this is normal?
Would really appreciate a little insight!
Thank you in advance! x
