Hi dekockc, The best places to inject insulin are (in order)
1: Buttocts (seat) slowest absorbing
2: abdomen (holding pinch of fat)
3: arms (holdind pinch of fat)
4: thighs (holding pinch of fat)

Theses are the sights with the most subcutancous fat (listed in order) You can use any two of theses sites with out problems as long as you rotate them.
