[QUOTE="David Wass, post: 1217711, member: 311441"] I saw my diabetic nurse a few weeks back and yesterday. She advised me to inject in the thight and abdomen(makes me cringe). I am too skinny no bum no fat not a mm of fat on me as a result my insulin is not being absorbed properly especially my background insulin. Every morning my sugars are running from 18 up to 25 and keep rising. I inject extra novorapid to counter act the high but due to having no fat its not absorbing properly. What can i do to get a bit of fat to inject in to or where is best? How many times can i inject in the abdomen and will this give me lumps and bumps on my stomach if too many times? I can not believe that 4 injections a day is safe for me in only 2 places. I believe from my BS results its my background insulin that is not working properly. Please help [emoji1] [/QUOTE]
