For the first 12 years i injected solely into my stomach. Around a year ago i spoke to a nurse/doctor at my annual check up and she explained to me that i should be rotating sites (not just rotating around the stomach, but chance to side of the leg or buttocks), and asked me if i had small hard lumps under the skin of my stomach. I said i have and she said thats because of how long ive been injecting there. After that conversation i changed to the side of my legs, and have been doing that since. I cannot remember how often she said i should be changing to another site, but i feel like a year is probably going to be long enough for the sides of my legs.How often do you change from stomach to legs, legs to buttocks etc? Does anyone know how often the NHS recommend? I tried googling, but could only find information about rotating particular spots of each site.Hopefully that makes sense, any information is appeciated.</blockquote>
