Help!

Hi! I'm the newbie!
I've been a diabetic for almost 11 years now and I've never come across anything like the little red lumps/bumps where I inject. They also turn into bruises! I rotate my injection sites so I don't understand why it's happening. Has anyone else had these or know what they are?
Advice/information is much appreciated! thanks!

Hi @Muggins96 it sounds like you are catching the little capillaries when you inject and having little bleeds, the lumps are the insulin sitting under the skin, does it seem to take a long time for your insulin to kick in?? if it does then it is the insulin pooling under the skin, my advice on this would be if you get a lump massage the spot till it goes, the only way to miss the capillaries is to really look at where your injecting and watch out for the feint blue lines which give them away, other than that I think maybe a chat with your DSN as you may need to change needles. hope this helps.......
