[QUOTE="Emck, post: 2622118, member: 498565"] Hi all, I have been on insulin for about 25 years now. I rotate my sites regularly, but still think that I have developed some scar tissue that prevents me from absorbing insulin correctly. I have one area of my lower abdomen that is basically a no go, it just doesn’t work properly. When I used MDI, I once had a big reaction to an injection there- the site was very swollen and painful and it has never worked as an injection/infusion site since. My legs also aren’t great candidates, insulin tends to pool under the infusion/injection site unless it’s a very small amount (1-2 units). Does anyone know if there’s anything that can be done to revive injection/infusion sites. At the moment I feel like I’m overusing my abdomen as it’s the most reliable. However this might burn me in the long term! [/QUOTE]
