hi!
I was diagnosed in end of Feb this year with type one and i take both NovoRapid and Levemir to control it. i take anything from 5 to 12 units of Novorapid but thats does its job normaly, no matter where i inject. i go between my arms tummy and legs, I go between all three of these evenly (until quite reasently) (and on each side), and i move where i inject each time i get back to a site. I take 27 units of levemir, and whenever i get round to my legs, my legs seem to come out with a lump the size of 10 pence coin within 5 mins of injecting and then it starts to bruse. i started avoiding injecting levemir into my legs, but i still have a bruse there from about a week back.
has anyone else had this?? i'm guessing its because its a bigger amont i'm injecting but i just find it odd and i just wondered if it was normal
please tell me if you had/have the same thing happen! thanks.
