[QUOTE="glitterzoe, post: 110789, member: 22745"] yes unfortunatly it is, although some people tend to bleed and bruse easer than others, your insulin will collect fat to it (this is what can sometimes cause lumps) also if you continue to inject in the same place for a long period of time the site becomes scared (scare tissue build up) and this can have drematic results to your insuklin intake (higher doses for instance), when I was diagnosed (30 years ago) I was told to try and do a week in each position so a week in the left leg, a week in the right les and so on so that each area gets at least 8 weeks rest, but like everyone will probably know you get settled in one spot. You will find that if this happens it takes years and years ( I am speaking form experiance) to remove the lumps that build up. Try to variate is all I am saying. Hope this has helped some :P :P :P [/QUOTE]
