Hello
Just looking for advice ( I’ve booked a appointment with the diabetic nurse for this week )
I’ve always put my background insulin in my thighs but recently I’ve started to get lumps and it hurting to touch wherever I put it , my sugars have been a mess so had to up my levemir from 7 to 9 morning and night and still seems like it needs more .
I don’t know if it’s related to the injection sites being a nightmare or could be because I’ve gained a bit of weight I have no idea.
Anyway I changed my injection sites to my stomach which is where I put my fast insulin ( novarapid) and it’s doing the same in my stomach , lump underneath and literally hurts to touch the parts of my stomach where I inject , my nova doesn’t do this and my levemir has only recently started after a year since using it when I was diagnosed,
Any advice welcome
Thanks
