The nurse told my husband to inject in a fatty part like the stomach or the front part of the legs. She checked and then told him that he better make it the stomach and that was ify about any fat there......Oh, to have his weight problem....lol

I do my belly with Lantus and Novolog with my dinner time meal.

Use my arms, legs and bottom - tried my tummy but just feels strange and puts me off my food!!! (no logic to that at all).

 

I do inject through clothing, though have been trying to cut that down....I used to be quite grim and use needles 'til they went blunt, but they have told me off for doing that at the hospital (to be honest can't see any difference in my control from being a lot more sterile).  I tend to blood test in toliets, just 'cos I wash my hands before, but inject at the table - have used arms or legs - never noticed anyone staring and no one has said anything.

 

On the point of sites being quicker acting - legs and bum are slower release and arms and legs are quicker - I've had patches of quite sensitive ness with my diabetes, and found that a good eliminating factor for problems is to try and inject in the same area i.e. in an arm at the same times each day - does that make sense - so always use an arm for lunch, and a leg for tea or something like that - that has helped my sugars be a bit more predicatable (though I am pregnant and my diabetes always gets a bit more sensitive when I am pregnant!)

 

 

Cherise,

 

I would never go into the bathroom to inject my Insilin. I go out all the time at least 3 times a week and inject at the table. I use a pen and inject in my legs when I;m in public. If I'm not wearing shorts then I inject through my Jeans. I have never had a complaint, and most never know I'm injecting.

 

Have a great night.
