Hi I am a type 2 diabetic and have been injecting Lantus in my stomach for about a year now and have developed a belly which is something I have never had before. Does anyone know if this is a result of injecting.

It will be if your using the same injection site, the condition is called Lipohypertrophy:

Use your legs and bum for your basal (lantus).

Right @Ken B my mistake, but do rotate your injection sites to avoid lipo issues further down the road.
