Places to inject
How many different places should I use for injection. When I was first diagnosed I only used arms and legs, however they are starting to hurt a lot when I use them. Should I start using my sides?

Hi,
you can inject insulin wherever you can 'pinch an inch' (ie. to give a subcutaneous injection).
You can use your tummy, hips and butt as well as arms and legs.
Hope this helps.
