So...I always inject in my stomach area and right now I am sporting some really blue bruises...veryugly...so I can inject in my thighs? Does it matter where as far as how the body takes in the insulin? I am going to try the poke and prick method as I am getting way too many ugly bruises...recently I pulled out the needle and blood really poured out..yuck.

Another question, I feel like I'm getting flabby around my middle (although I'm relatively thin at 118 pounds)...is the insulin adding to my flab?
