Hi all,
I have been T1 diabetic for over 30 years, so pretty used to it all now!
Over the last couple of years, I have been experiencing reactions when injecting. It doesn’t happen every time but it is quite regular. Red, warm, painful.
I rotate my injection sites, and will avoid areas where I have recently had a reaction. But as it’s happening more often I’m running out of places to inject!
I mentioned it to my consultant at my last review - which was phone-based. It was brushed under the carpet and they sent me a “helpful” leaflet about rotating my injection sites (which I do anyway)
Anyway, just wondered whether this happens with anyone else? And any tips on managing it? Other than the usual rotate, new needle each time etc.
Thanks,
Em
