I give myself 17 units of Glargine in my thigh of an evening holding the pen in place for 20 secs just to make sure it stays in there. The last couple of days I’ve had a little leakage so today I ran high and tonight I gave myself an extra couple of units after leaking again. From what I hear at work (hospital pharmacy) we have patients on hugely higher doses using normal strength insulin so is it normal to split evening injections to make the volume smaller (even though I’m on a pathetically small dose?!! Or should I just switch to belly site? It metabolises faster so I would rather not if that makes sense?!
