[QUOTE="Omar101, post: 529370, member: 97999"] Welcome to the forum :) don't worry this is the correct place for the question. I can't comment on the canular sites though I wrote a little about the insulin "lumps" previously in another thread: The long and short of it is that over a short amount of time existing fat cells in the injection area fill due to insulin and if they are left for a while they will return to normal however if they are continuously injected into then new permanent fat cells are created and result in lumps becoming larger and firmer. The only way to get rid of them now is surgically. It sounds like you are only injecting and rotating around your abdomen, the only advice I can really give is to try and use your thighs and triceps and rotate around them bearing in mind that long acting insulin typically results in more lipohypertrophy than rapid acting.
