i inject in my stomach with no problems.
Yeah as everyone has said, no problems injecting for me either! Sheila
I have injected in the stomach for the last 20 years or so and have not had any problems.
I agree w/Sarguillo, I rotate 4 to 5 times daily. I do have a habit of forgeting sometimes where i injected last & do have a few places that are harder than others but that's the least of my worries for now
I never heard of this, inject 4 times a day and have used the stomach mostly. Only complication that can result that I know of is the scar tissue as roberts mentioned. This is noticed by a hard lump. To prevent it, always rotate the injection spot and try to hit a couple inches from previous injections threwout the same day,
I originally started injecting my short acting insulin into my thigh, became painful. Plus the saturation time was real long, it didn't bring my BP down quick enough. Then I started in my stomach and that has been working great. But I have nerve paralysis in one part due to a previous surgery, so I don't always feel it. So for me - stomach works great!
If you are injecting into your stomach then you will have more immediate issues other than paralysis. Plus, I don't think they make home use needles long enough to do that. The worst that can really happen injecting into the belly fat is doing it too many times in the same spot leading to scar tissue formation.
nope, I inject in my belly. No paraysis. I do notice that I get like hard sections where its harder to push the needle in if I try to inject in the same place too soon. Other wise, I use a different location and I have no issues.
