Anyone experience one thigh being more sensitive than the other? My left is easier to inject Novorapid less chance of bruising or bleeding. My right I seem to keep getting bleeders and red spots. I use 4mm needles. It's getting frustrating I recently started injecting in the thigh.
 
I have not experienced this but wonder if it is something about the angle of injection.
I always favour my right thigh because I am right handed and find my left thigh more awkward to inject straight.
If this is the case, I am not sure of the answer apart from maybe (painful) practice
 
could not do my thighs. to many nerves. lucklyavery large stomach provided a decent range of injection points.
 
never experienced this, used to inject into tummy but now do the thighs alternative am and pm
