This is 2 hrs after a low carb (20g) breakfast. WTAF is going on today? So frustrating.
Weird, how that works. Glad it’s kicked in now xThanks. Yeah I’ve just run up and down the stairs 10 times and walked down the track to get signal to make a phone call (we are remote here) and the insulin is working now. Weird. Sometimes it seems like it needs waking up or something.
Doubt it, you've not been at it long enough. But do keep rotating...Do you think it could be injection sites? Bad absorption?
You’ve not been diagnosed that long, have you? Bad injection sites take a long time to happen, I understand. It’s probably just the diabetes fairy mucking (or something that rhymes) with youDo you think it could be injection sites? Bad absorption?

Go for it. What are you worried by? Then we can try to help. Upper arms ok for me. I once tried the wrist but it hurt like anything.I’d love to have the confidence to do it in my arms.

Yeah the wrist was a mistake. Upper arm I just stab as can't work out how I'd punch and plunge.In the wrist??! Christ!
Do you pinch in your upper arm?

Theoretically. It’s a technique I learned from my Bernstein book (caveat - while I think he’s great, he ain’t god, despite what some others say!) - injecting into fat makes it absorb into the bloodstream slower than into muscle. He recommend the deltoid when you want fast corrections. I only use very small doses though, I wouldn’t do it with more that 1.5u. If I needed a big correction dose, I’d put up to 1.5u into a muscle, and the rest into fat.So will it work quicker in my arm?
Yes, that's the wrist story.Just a warning - the arm, particularly if you are very lean, can be extremely painful for some people. If I get it in the wrong place I can get huge bruises, almost like blood blisters.
