[QUOTE="Karenchq, post: 1604895, member: 298654"] When I first started to inject, my skin itched like crazy and it stung and caused bruising. After some time, it became less and less of a problem. Now I pinch up and rarely feel any stinging nor do I bruise to such a degree. Perhaps it was an allergic reaction that I was having. I am not a medical professional so can not speak as such, just noting my reactions. Your situation sounds similar to mine, so perhaps you will feel less sensation after your body gets adjusted to taking insulin. Like you, I am also very sensitive to small doses. My point being, I felt very overwhelmed at first with pain, bruising and discomfort, but that it does get better. [/QUOTE]
