[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2185678, member: 365308"] Never been skinny so lots of sub q fat to get into however I did find that getting the tiniest needles (8mm) and rotating sites helped me not to bruise. More importantly and over the longer time, if you inject in your favourite spot you will end up with insulin lumps where there is a localised fat deposit caused by the insulin which can then mean that your insulin is not absorbed well or predictably. If you are flexible enough can you put it in your bottom? Also worth knowing that if you inject in the thigh before a run the insulin will be absorbed more quickly because of the body heating up! (ditto saunas and leg waxing). [/QUOTE]
