injection

I've read the tips of injecting through this forum and even purchased a "tickle flex" in the hope that I can try new places to inject. This is only my 3rd month of injecting, some days its fine and I barely feel the needle penetrate the skin, but then I have other days where its like my skin is...

So yeah, I just finished doing my dose of levemir insulin, and as I removed the needle from my leg, my hand slipped somehow and I managed to plunge it into the side of my thumb. Obviously I'm the only one who used the needle, so there shouldn't be any risk of infection or anything, right?

Hey everyone. I've been type 1 for nearly 10 years now. I've recently been looking into insulin pumps and thought the best people to talk to would be other diabetics for advice. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it! Thank you x

Is anyone having any problems with FIASP batch HS66L89? Or any degludec/tresiba batched at the moment? X

Hi! My son doesn't have diabetes but I hoped you would be able to help. He has been prescribed vitamin B12 for CFS and we have to get it privately. We need safe syringes and needles for injection and I wondered if any of you would know the best place to get them?

Hi guys, I'm a 22 year old type one who got diagnosed at around 19 I'd say and I've always been very bad at control. I forgot to take insulin after I eat and this happens a hell of a lot, I'd say I'm still not used to it because of lack of attention I've actually had towards it. I'd just like...

Hi, I've recentLy had my long acting insulin changed to degludec from lantus as lantus wasn't lasting long enough. I usually take lantus at 7:30pm but want to start taking degludec in the morning as I was told I could. How do I change the injection time? I was on 14.5 of lantus and...

Hey! I've had diabetes for over 10 years now. I've always injected in my stomach which now looks awful! I feel like I look like I have a baby bump! I've been doing some research and I'm pretty sure it's lipohypertrophy - fatty lumps under the skin from not rotating my injection sites enough...
