[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1889636, member: 468714"] Not sure but it does happen ? insulin too cold?, too rapid injection when the skin and tissue beneath maybe tighter due to underlying muscle? Pinching may help but is more difficult I find in the outer thigh. Arms are tricky again because of muscle and limited area to use, unless one is a contortionist but not impossible. There is a thread on injections (Auto-injectors for Injections) in which several injection devices are mentioned with pros and cons. One such devices does help to pinch up the skin and might make your life easier !! At age 13 when diagnosed I had trouble giving injections and relied on an auto-injector for a while, until I grew out of its use. and need. It can be a problem at any age. One really interesting things was the privilege to attend a number of diabetes camps for children. Most children who had arrived unable to give their own injections were encouraged to see their peers giving themselves their own injections and by the end of the week were proud self-injectors. Chin up and Bestest Wishes !! [/QUOTE]
