Hi,
I am very limited because I cannot examine the "lumps" myself. Infections are possible and should be treated aggressively. Persons who inject insulin also have changes under the skin associated with injection of insulin, and your doctor should be able to distinguish this from other problems. Be sure to rotate your injection sites and use sharp needles that you change frequently.
Take care.
