Will injecting insulin in places make them bigger , for example; if I inject in my bum will it get bigger? Like Kim Kardashians

No! At least it shouldn't. You may get small hard lumps occasionally from some injections. A reasonably fatty place is perfect: posterior, thigh, belly, upper arm. Rotate to avoid marks. If you see swelling, redness, avoid that place.

If things actually did get bigger from injecting in them, then many of the girls would always be injecting in their boobs.
So no . . . nothing gets bigger.
But like others have mentioned, you need to really move around where you give your shot.

by bigger booty are you meaning you want a "bubble butt" or the Sir MixALot "babys got back"?

Okay now you guys are stressing me out I've got the black and blue spots and can only inject one one side since my cjm is on the other side. I've seen Kims latest pictures, don't want this for me!!!! Lol!

I inject around the belt button area and every so often I get what seems to be a fluid bubble. Is this bad,and is there a better site to inject?

when I was injecting I injected in my fat roll around my midriff. I stayed about 2" away from the navel and from other recent injection sites and I rarely had any issues.

I may have to try that, I was only ever shown one soup I trotted to keep the sites close to that area. I will be trying different now. Thanks

No, but if you don't rotate your injections sites you can get scar tissue build up which can be quite bad an not look great. Make sure you don't hit within 2 inches of your last few injections and you should be OK.

I just googled "insulin injection sites" and got some rather horrible pictures warning you to move the sites around. I'm still holding out hope for the Kim Kardashian effect, though.

LoL! Why, Jade? are you trying to get more "junk in the trunk" like Kim?

Seriously, While if one injects insulin, into one's tummy it doesn't necessarily make the tummy fatter. the fat is deposited throughout the body.

Insulin doesn't make one fat if one keeps one's carbohydrate intake in control.
