[QUOTE="wsmum, post: 185393, member: 33079"] Hello all. My son (aged 13) is a newly diagnosed diabetic, on the MDI regime. He also has lymphoedema which prevents him from injecting in his legs, and to cap it all, he is very skinny! So he is just injecting in his (not very chubby) tummy. I am keen to avoid the fatty lumps problem and just wanted to ask all you experienced people, is it inevitable that he'll end up with these if he only uses his stomach? He does rotate the sites of course. Modern needles are nice and thin so I suppose I was wondering whether this, combined with new rapid action insulins that get absorbed nice and fast, might mean it's not such a problem?? Any comments/advice gratefully received. Thanks, Catherine [/QUOTE]
