I find it fascinating how we all seem to react to the same things just a little bit differently. For me moving to injecting Lantus in my outer thigh has been a great experience. There's no more burning, no more weeping and no more bleeding.

I inject into flat skin. Always have. When I was in hospital the nurse never suggested I pinch so I never have. Not for Lantus and not for NovoLog either. Unlike most I don't get a subcutaneous bump. I get a dimple that goes away in a few hours.
