I have been on Clopidogrel for well over a year now. Whilst it make you prone to bruising (which I accept) the odd bruise following after insulin injection is annoying. Anybody else suffer this?

Hi @MikeyBikey

I've been on Clopidogrel for years and really don't have any more tendency to bruise than previously. When I was on MDI I did occasionally bruise after an injection, usually because I'd hit a capilliary with the needle. I think most people on MDI find this. I do not notice it when applying cannulas now I am on a pump - though occasionally when I take the cannula out there is some bleeding.
 
I'm like Patti - taking it years and nothing untoward noticed. Those look like capillary bleeds to me though - if we want our dermis to stay healthy, occasionally we'll find one - Cloppy Dog or not.
