[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 411501, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, I'm on 4mm needles and don't need to pinch; I'm thin as well. Do ask for 4mm needles if you aren't already using them. If you Google 'insulin sites' and look at the images link there are stacks of pictures of alternative sites which you may want o discuss with the doc. For 8 years I was on just tablets and had to starve myself to keep my sugars low. I've been on insulin now for 5 months and wouldn't go back as I can eat more freely. I inject twice a day; sometimes three so not full-blown T1. I currently don't have stomach soreness so may be I'm lucky so far. Buttocks and thighs are good alternative sites. [/QUOTE]
