Help - Insulin during pregnancy - Question

[skybie]

Injecting into ur thighs is perfectly fine, it just takes longer for the insulin to absorb, so if u do it this way remember that b4 u test afterwards as it will probably be an incorrect result.
Theres nothing wrong with injecting into ur belly, ppl have insulin pumps constantly attatched to their bellies

Yes I guess that's true Skybie. Just thought perhaps with more fatty tissue on your thigh than your skin tight preg belly might hurt less?

[skybie]

definetly as u get on its a good option if ur skins too tight. there are a few places u can inject, ur bum is another one, will have to find the booklet, the belly is where its absorbed quickest though

Actually the 6mm one isnt that bad, it didnt hurt putting it in today. Thanks both Skybie and cheekymonkey.

As for the needles in the belly, yesterday they told us that it is the only place we are to do it. Yet if it starts to hurt I will definately ask about putting it into the thigh.
