Hi

What you may be describing is called lipohypertrophy or insulin hypertrophy. It is a fatty

thickening of the lipid tissue, and these soft, grapelike lumps are sometimes felt more easily than they are seen.

The most likely cause is repeated injections of insulin into the same spot.

If you have been injecting insulin for a long time, you may have done this without realizing it. Generally, if you avoid using these sites for injection, the hypertrophy may decrease if not disappear.

If you think it will take too long for it to decrease I can show you some great ways to make it go faster

Thanks

hey insulin helps reduce the glucose blood levels however if u eat a lot of high calorie foods and don't use up the energy insulin necessitates its storage as fat which causes deposition around the stomach regions and the back of the head so check how much calories you have in your meals and exercise a lot other wise u likely to grow fatter if u keep up a sedentary life style

Hi

there are food supplements like ganoderma that are very good for you, try organo gold products as they have the supplement and are not pricey.
