Hello!

Every day at 8 in the afternoon I put on the abdomen in the abdomen.And now I will also start with fast insulin Actrapid Innolet of which I have been paid 4 units at any meal (I do 5 a day) whenever I am more than 150.

As I said, the slow thing I always put it in the abdomen and my question is, I begin to put the fast in the abdomen or better start trying in another area?

The nurse told me that in my arm there was no need for pinches, that is, I could also put it on me alone, it hurts more in my arm?

The needles panic, I have been slowly and it costs my life to put it on, and that does not hurt !!

But I'm afraid that it hurts and then it costs me even more to put it on.Can I explain?

I also don't know if it's good to put both of the abdomen.

God are doubts !!

Thanks in advance !!

@minucti, "Rotation Law"!You have to rotate the punctures.On every diabetes website you can find infographics.
Before wearing the pump, I click my fast and slow on my legs.As for the needles, Novofine has "hidden needles", I don't remember the name ...

It is best to rotate, because if not in my endocrine always in the belly creates muscle and fat deformations and grow like breasts in the belly, I show me photos.
The best fast in the belly rotating sites and slow in the buttocks, ass, buttocks etc etc

The slow always in slow, buttocks or legs absorption areas, never abdomen told me.
The fast for meals in arms and abdomen.
Both rotating to prevent fat from becoming necrose.

4 units for food if you go from 150, it seems a lot.The rapid depends on the amount of hydrates you eat and your insulin sensitivity.

@Ruthbia My endocrine always tells me that I can perfectly get toujeo in the gut, it is simply because I do not excessively crush that area not because the effect can be different, in fact that I have spent hours to put the slow one, I have done itIn the gut and has worked the same or even better.-

@sigsauer is not that it cannot be put, in the abdomen acts before and always recommend slow absorption areas so that it does not meet another insulin.
Just as they tell you that if you are going to exercise, do not put insulin on your legs.

If you are going to walk or run, do not click on your legs, if you are going to do weights or paddlers do not click on your arms, if you are going to sit at work, do not click on your ass, for that rule of 3 onlyWe would have the belly that is the only thing we do not use unless you practice the belly dance:THEORIES.-

Sorry for a question that may seem silly to all who have been in this for years but how do you get it with such normality?It takes half an hour to decide to click and that I know it doesn't hurt, but it's stronger than me, I start very determined but everything is to get the ball and begin to shake my hands, my heart seems to stop,The time to put insulin is a torture 😁 I have only tried in the belly, I thought it would be easier on my legs, I have tried but in the end I never dare.

Slow use ABASAGLAR, to put it on the arm or on your leg, do you also have to do pinch?

I use Novofine Plus needles 4 mm.The needle is very small.If you have more accumulated fat, you would have to be older.You feel nothing!I have been for a short time and the truth is that it doesn't cost me any work and it doesn't hurt.It is more psychological.Relax when you wear them.You will get used to it.Remember to count about 10 seconds (more or less) after putting the insulin and before removing the needle.

I wear the slow (Abasaglar) on the leg (in the thigh with a pinch) and the rapid of breakfast and dinner in the buttocks and the rapid of the food in the belly.TB corrections in the belly.TB you can use arms.The most important thing is that you change site.

all the best

@Minucoti in the legs does not hurt anything, the more chicha less hurts 😉

Over time, clicking becomes so automatic that there are days that you have to think about whether or not insulin has put yourself.

@minucti

Then in your case 4 mm is perfect.The 8 mm is a barbarity :).And that's why maybe they hurt you a little.To me at the hospital at the beginning mg put 6 and 8 mm until I discovered the 4mm and much better.

Try 4 mm.They do not hurt.In the thigh remember to give a small pinch to prick.I promise that they do not hurt and you will get used to it !!

Since I started with insulin for April 2017, they told me in several of the commented parties.
As in the abdomen it seemed to me that I could best see and with greater security for its fat content I always put it there.
A month ago an educator told a group that puts himself within a radius of 2 cm around the navel.
I will take 800 days with 5000 punctures in different areas of the abdomen and I notice that in some it costs to prick and once bleed a little.I chose a 6 mm needle because with the 4 mm that I started, I felt uneasy in case the insulin did not download well.
I usually use the same needle on average.
The clicks on the finger in 23 years will be 24000.
At today's value 2000 gs the strip are 50 million gs spent because in Paraguay the adult does not have free strips, in Argentina, Max 1800 a year.
