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
 
Have you tried your bum and back if you can reach?
