[QUOTE="therower, post: 1488274, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=254425]@Westley[/USER] . Sounds very much like vitiligo. Vitiligo affects a very small amount of the population but does seem a bit more common with T1 diabetics ( apparently it's an auto immune condition like diabetes) Over my years of diabetes I've developed various areas of discolouration mainly on my hands, shoulders and face. Granted not injection sites but still areas that just stay pale/ white when ever I go out in the sun. Never had any problems with these areas other than the cosmetic appearance they create. Strange you have these areas where you inject. Obviously I'm no expert and as such would suggest if you are still concerned then raise it with your GP. There's lots of information on the web if you search vitiligo. Sorry can't be more help. [/QUOTE]
