I know you're not supposed to inject near the belly button but I accidentally miscalculated in a hurry. I'd say 1 1/2 inch by glance. How bad will it be? Absorption error? Anyone know why to stay away?

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
A quick google says not to inject near navel because the tissue is tougher and this can affect the absorption of the insulin.

Hi, yep. It can affect absorption..
I notice from your profile you're also on a Novomix.?
Try to keep a closer eye on your BG figures during the day.. (Just incase of any unexpecteds..)

Yeah it sort of jumped high and stayed there for a day. Google didn't exactly have a concrete answer. Thanks
