[QUOTE="EK297, post: 2420136, member: 545875"] Thanks, everyone, for the replies. I am on Levemir and NovoRapid - have been on them both for many years. Very, very rarely use the same needle twice, and when I do it’s when I’m out and about and need an unplanned correction dose. As I said, it happens rarely but I’d be lying if I said I never did it! I use the 8mm needles. Happens when the insulin is room temp. Again, I sometimes inject quite soon after taking a cartridge out of the fridge but not often. Good shout about speaking to a pharmacist - will do that tomorrow. I imagine it will be a “speak to your consultant” type response but no harm in asking! Picture below of a lump that has appeared after injecting into my leg. The redness has faded and it’s now come up in a bruise. Just to show the sort of lumps and bumps I am getting. Also another of the redness around an injection site from this morning.
