Tips please

I am T2, on 5 insulin injections per day. I am 75 and female. I have been injecting for 12 years approx. and am finding it harder to get the needle into my body. Its too tricky in my legs, not enough flesh I think, and my midriff and stomach are almost impossible to puncture. Any tips?

Hi
I am type 1 but as I have aged my skin especially on my stomach has gotten for want of a better word 'tough'. My solution to this is too really massage in moisturiser, so far this seems to work fine.
Good luck
