[QUOTE="azure, post: 1424651, member: 39639"] [USER=375300]@bobneil[/USER] I used my legs a lot for injevtions. I'm on a pump now and use my legs for cannulas. I know people say about exercise increasing absorption, etc, but I personally didn't find that a problem. I'm not sure you should be using the back of your legs. The areas I use are the front and the side. That's what I was told to do. Sit on a chair look down at your thigh and you can use the top or the bit of the side that you can see. Yes, there are blood vessels, but these are usually easily visible so inject in 'clear' spaces. The post meal reading is two hours from the start of the meal. [/QUOTE]
