injection site

Hi, I am in desperate need of some advice, after a longgg time of wanting to switch my long acting insulin injection site for more flexibility and better control (has always been in the stomach as this is what I was told to do when I was diagnosed 6 years ago.) I have started to inject into my...

Is anyone on MDI familiar with or have experience of I-port injection device or insuflon? Today is my first time hearing about them. Fewer injections sound like a good idea but how does that gel with “ always use a new injection site to avoid problems.”

Hi all I have been injecting for around a month now and I just can’t seem to not nip myself a little and draw a tiny bit of blood, then I end up with a tiny little red mark for a while. I mean it’s useful because I know where I have previously injected. But it would be nice to have a clear...

I've been having trouble with Lantus ever since I've used it (since Inwas first diagnosed I believe, almost 11 years!!) It's always been difficult to inject, I'll push down three or four clicks and then it's harder to push, almost like I'm trying to inject syrup through a tiny needle. It burns...

Hi all, Been injecting for about 2 weeks, and had my first dodgy one. Taking my Fiasp before dinner, it felt sore going in, felt sore coming out, and stung a bit for a while, and I have a small lump. I'm a skinny fella' so what did I do? a) hit exactly a spot I've used recently (surely...

Hi all, I had my diabetes diagnosis switched from Type 2 to LADA earlier this year during my second pregnnancy. I was on Novorapid and Levemir for my 1st pregnancy back in 2014/15 but on Fiasp and Levemir this time around. I had my baby in August but obviously since having my diagnosis...

Hi all, The past month or so I have really noticed big bruises and lumps on my injection sites, I spoke to the nurse a few weeks ago and her advice was to just keep rotating. I have been injecting for 22 years now and have always rotaed sites as much as possible, (I’m quite slim so there’s...

I am new here and made a post introducing myself on the introduction section. I could sit here all night and type loads but I want to get to the point so I will try not to babble. I was diagnosed in 1997, a year after being diagnoised age 9 my life turned and was hell. My body basically hated...

Does anyone here inject insulin into their upper chest? I've been trying to give my stomach sites a rest (getting some slight scarring) and experimenting with this for my bolus injections. So far chest seems okay, fairly fast absorption, and not much pain, though I've only tried a couple of...

Hi guys! Having a bit of an issue with injecting Levemir into my thighs. The long and short of it is that every time - without fail - I'm left with lumps and bruises at the injection site, I'm injecting 9u at a time with 4mm, 32G needles. I don't have a great deal of fat on my legs but I'm...

I have occasionally injected in my back - as far round as I can reach. My DSN has told me not to, anyone else had this and any idea why?
