I've had diabetes for 5 years now and have to inject 3-4 times daily...I also suffer from other medical problems but I wanted to ask any of you if you have been injecting insulin and slowly have got a bloated or bigger stomach? I was do slim - still am but my tummy where I inject has become so big.it's bothering me everyday and in losing confidence what I wear etc...anybody understand or am I taking nonsense?
Hello everyone : I've had diabetes for... - Diabetes Research...
Hello everyone
Hi
I have also had such problems. It was worse many years ago when I habitually injected in the thighs. We are creatures of habit and if it works tend to stick with it. I learned to switch injection sites regularly and the problem eventually resolved. Try using both your thighs, upper outside aspect of both buttocks and occasionally even the upper arm/deltoid. Try not to stick with the same site for long and it should help.
Best

That's because of subcutaneous fibrosis.
But why not trying lchf if t2d. Even t1d can reduce insulin dose if on lchf / keto diet.
Sid, I inject insulin six times a day...... inject in different site each time you inject, it’s as simple as that.....I have been on insulin since 2008......good luck. 👍😀
Good luck SID123.
