Help ..... yet again I'm developing an abscess at my injection site. I alternate it but I keep getting these complications. My sugars are 27 tonight and I'm so fed up . Any ideas ?
 
With numbers running that high I would take myself off to A&E, they could be because you have an infection that needs sorting, either way getting help from a Dr is the only way to get yourself sorted.
 
Thanks for the advice. I work at the hospital they are sooo busy I feel like a fraud for something like this . Will keep this in mind.
 
Worries me that you say injection site... Are you properly rotating?

Hope your levels have come down but at 27 you need to probably inject a little extra correction than normal...

Have you bathed site with diluted tcp or salt n water?

If you have done all of this and do not see levels lower then you need to let go of your principles surrounding hospirals or go to a walk in emergency centre...

Everybody keeps saying A&E but most towns have walk in emergency centres nowadays.
