Hi,

It's been a while since I last posted with problems controlling my BS levels of my Type 2 diabetes. I'm overweight, but coming down in size nicely. I also suffer from Cirrhosis of the Liver. I'm male caucasean and am aged 48(or will be on Tuesday  ).

The good news is that I have now started injecting myself last week - 3x per day with NovoRapid and a NovoPen 3 loaded with 8.00mm (5/16") fine needles. My BS levels are now absolutely great and within the prescribed limits! My morning sugars are now around 90 - 100 which I'm rapped about considering they used to be up over 200!

My problem ia also that I develop a bruise every time I inject, these average about 15mm (5/8") diameter and dark red/blue. The injection zone I use is my stomach.

Does anyone else have or had in the past, the same problems?

If anyone can suggest a remedy or preventative method, I'd love to hear it.

 

Cheers for now from the Shaky Islands of New Zealand,

 

Dave

I use to bruise all the time. I use my stomach too. I dont know what the difference is but since I use the INOVO injector I havent had one bruise. It might be the difference in neddles or it could be the injector itself. I have been useing it for over a year now.
