[QUOTE="anna29, post: 193181, member: 30936"] Hi. funnily enough yesterday I recieved some bumpf in the post from novo nordisk about levemir as I will be using it from 1st june. It actually states that levemir "can" give a reaction at the injection site, n usually disappear after a few weeks of taking it. causes some redness,swelling, and an itchy feeling at injection site.... Lumps however can be caused by injecting too often in same site. If they do not disappear you must return to your doctor or diabetes nurse. I myself wont be able to inject in thighs or arms [top of] or my bum as too little fat there! Will have to be my belly only.... I am bruising severly lately on the victoza despite changing my needles to 5mm however am now rubbing-massaging my site areas after injecting to help disperse the drug evenly under my skin n hopefully that will stop my bruising? n have been told to choose new sites well away from the bruising [am using arnica cream to aid healing] as they do end up quite purpley black n large. The brochure from novo nordisk clearly explains that levemir can have this effect on injection sites n clearly explains it should only be a temporary thing when starting on levemir injections. Anna.
