| Injection sites
This will prove forever just how uneducated I've been over the years. When I started injections 4 years ago they told me I could shoot in arms, legs and abdomen. I find arms and legs painful, so I've always stuck to the abdomen.
But I don't really know just what exactly defines abdomen. All I was told was stay two inches from the belly button. I always injected below belly button for most of these years, and in the last few months I began noticing higher blood sugars so I came to the conclusion that I needed to change locations.
I've moved more to the sides of the belly button area now.
My question is, how far to the left and right can you go? And can you shoot above the belly button area? Would this require a shorter needle? (I currently use the long ones).....Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |
