Hi there,
I've been injecting insulin for over 40 years. My insulin (Apidra) has recently become really slow at working, which is causing lots of problems with my control.
My Diabetic Doctor told me that insulin causes fatty deposits under the skin which, in turn, slows the absorption of the insulin but, considering how long I've had Diabetes, I have never had this problem before. Two years ago I went from having had long needles all my life to short ones - I am wondering if this is why? Any suggestions?
