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.

    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.

    I don't have any problems with leg...sometimes stomach shots hurt.
