So I’ve been diabetic for ten years and have developed bad and big lipo lumps on my belly and thighs anyone else got these?
 
this is because you inject the area a bit too much.

try to change the injection site and I hope it will go away.
 
I did have. Huge solid regions on my belly. I was the example trotted out to show new doctors starting their diabetes courses what lipo looked and felt like.

Went onto the pump, and five years later it's all gone. It's not just the number of injections, there's also how much you inject, so if it's a real problem you can ask your diabetes team for a concentrated insulin.
