The following has a diagram showing where to inject insulin in the legs: [IMG]http://www.bd.com/resource.aspx?IDX=8074[/IMG] [URL]http://www.bd.com/us/diabetes/page.aspx?cat=7001&id=7261[/URL] I think you've got it all covered, there is a slight delay in insulin absorption injecting in the legs compared to the stomach, on MDI I was always mindful about injecting in the legs when I was exercising soon after (as in walking) as the I had tendancy to go low due to the increased blood flow to the area. Good luck [USER=375300]@bobneil[/USER] [/QUOTE]
