Insulin stinging/burning

[LoisPaige]

Hi all,
Recently diagnosed T1, I take levemir twice a day and novorapid 3 times a day. Since first being diagnosed back in June I have had no problems while injecting my medication, recently however I’ve noticed that while injecting my novorapid it feels like it’s stinging/burning the inside of my skin. I keep my insulin at room temperature so I don’t think it’s due to the insulin being cold. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, should I be worried
Thank you

Hello @LoisPaige and welcome to the forum. I had the same reaction when I used Novorapid, but found Humalog was ok. Strangely years later when I tried Fiasp, I found it was usually OK.

I'd suggest you ask whoever provides your diabetes care, if you can try a different insulin.
