I inject my Byetta into my abdomen, and the Lantus in my thighs. I've found that if I stretch my leg out and let it relax, the skin is more pliable, so it's easier to inject. I've gotten a bruise or two, but that's rare for me, so I must have done something wrong....probably had an unsteady hand with the injection and I moved the needle a bit. I now try to steady my hand on the arm of a chair....that seems to work well.
Oh, to those who offered suggestions to me when I was having a drop of blood bubble out of the injection site when I took the Lantus, I'm still using the longer ½" needle and pushing down harder on the plunger, and to date, I haven't had any more problems.
