[QUOTE="iHs, post: 97619, member: 8799"] The tummy is the convenient place to inject when out and about as during the autumn and winter its easy to unfasten coat or jacket and go straight in through clothes. No one should really notice you. But however, the tummy will often bruise especially if injecting directly into skin so best place is to use if you can, the upper back part of the arm, again through clothes. I use a 5mm needle and often go through clothes with no problems at all. I have a feeling from my own experiences, that the modern analogue insulins can function fairly well being injected just below the surface of the skin. I'm sure that my needles only go in about 3mm as I go through clothing first. [/QUOTE]
