Insulin Injections

[jclegg73]

Hello All

Another question has surfaced I'm afraid.

I have been injecting insulin in my stomach now for about a month and I now have a bruise in the area where I inject and can feel some little lumps in the same area,
Is this normal and what are they?

Thanks

John

When injecting it’s good practice to rotate injection sites otherwise lumps will occur which can lead to poor absorption of insulin , sites can include legs bum and tum unless things have changed ,

As @Ushthetaff states it is very very important to rotate your sites. I have a week for each area and move around for each injection.

I was doing this in all sites , legs and stomach however my left leg developed a great fat lump so had to stop doing in that leg now am careful as do not want that to happen again if possible, the lump has gone down now
