I  still think it's really difficult to always inject in a new site.  I can't remember EXACTLY where I last injected.  Life's too short.  However, I have to try because there is no point injecting insulin if the insulin isn't going to arrive when it's needed.  I hope you can manage to get help with this problem as soon as possible, because it sounds like the high sugars are affecting your daily life.  By the way, is your hbA1c really ok?  You shouldn't have to restrict yourself to one meal per day to keep it ok.</p></blockquote><p></p>
