Hi all, I had cardiac angioplasty (stents in my coronary arteries) four months ago and the hospital put me on blood thinning meds one of which is called Ticagrelor. This has quite nasty side effects including bruising and bleeding. My tummy area is covered in bruises some can be huge and purple and you only have to pierce a small blood vessel for a bad bruise to appear.
My question is what other sites can I use for bolusing as I am aware that the tummy area absorbs insulin more quickly than say my thighs or arms which I never use. I always inject my basal into my buttocks (ouch!) Can anyone advise what other areas would be OK for bolusing.
The good news is that I only have to take this drug for twelve months so only eight months to go.
Thanks for reading.
