[QUOTE="hh1, post: 2303457, member: 146541"] It was only about 3 years ago - after over 30 years injecting - that I was told I should inject basal and bolus in different locations as they can interact. And whilst I've learnt lots on here, I was pretty well-informed via reading etc, so I don't know how I missed that bit of info. Prior to that, I'd used the front of my torso for everything. I now have lipohypertrophy in areas of my stomach so I avoid them and inject bolus anywere else on the front of my torso up to my bra line. Basal goes in thighs or bum. I've tried using arms - you do need enough fat to avoid muscle - but I find it the most awkward of all and the hardest to keep track of where I've injected so I mostly avoid it. [/QUOTE]
