[QUOTE="therower, post: 2194990, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=518372]@SMULPY[/USER] . Welcome to the forum. More importantly welcome to your daughter. As above. Injections have to be done. I understand how you must be feeling, but cuddles will create far more problems going forward. You have listed your daughters injection sites. Are any of those areas more troublesome than others? A lot of us inject our basal insulin in our buttocks only. It tends to sting more than the bolus ( Novorapid). Personally I only use my backside for basal ( levemir for instance). If you are struggling with one area, maybe the arms, then don’t use that area. A lot of people on here have been injecting for years , decades, even and still have ever only used maybe two different sites. Thighs are good , stick to the front and outer side. Stomach I find can be a bit sensitive especially below the belly button. As long as you rotate sights properly there’s no reason why you can’t theoretically use one area 80% of the time. Good luck to both of you. [/QUOTE]
