Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shannon27" data-source="post: 2199144" data-attributes="member: 429571">Hi everyone!Ladies may be more able to comment on this, so lads be warned!I feel i have quite a nice figure at the minute - but i have what i call "a ledge". This is the area especially on either side of my belly button and a little further down, where i have been injecting for 12-13 years. I call it a ledge because the rest of my belly is quite flat, that bit just really sticks out.Question - is this just flab, which i should be able to lose with exercise? Or might scar tissue build up from repeated injections in the area? I'm noticing more insulin lumps as i inject recently (after i take the needle out) and try to massage them to get the insulin to absorb better. I have another area like this - there seems to be a bump that doesn't look normal, but feels totally normal. This is in an area where i used to inject frequently but no longer do.This post may seem vain, but i'm curious. Do i just need to get to the gym (highly plausible) or do i need to rotate sites a lot more? If anyone has a suggestion to reduce scar tissue, much appreciated <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
