Where do you inject your insulin?

ConleighS

Just curious, where is your injection spot? I was told in my stomach about 2 inches away from belly button. Sometimes though it hurts so I was wondering where else I can inject.

OH and when? Morning or night?

I inject in the morning. I was also told 2 inches from my scar. I switch from left stomach, then right stomach, right thigh, then left thigh, and rotate that way. It does hurt sometimes, but there's not really much I can do.

No belly button shots
Levemir is long lasting insulin & takes a few hours
to start working. I take mine before supper so it works
on my morning numbers.

I tried taking it before dinner (number was 238). Morning number was 157. But i only took 15 units instead of 20. I'll keep trying.
