ash-harris replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"Hello, My Dr. told me to stop injecting in the areas where scar tissue had built up as she said it was not absorbed as efficiently there. Once I started using other areas and rotated the shots a little more I managed to take a little less of the…"
JohnG replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"When you inject insulin sub Q it must saturate the body so some of it can be used.The body starts using it and removing it removing it as soon as it reaches the blood stream. If it is not quickly adsorbed it will not effectively offset a spike in…"
Stemwinder replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"I always wonder about that also, Thanks Brian"
Brian (bsc) replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"I don't really have a good explanation for you. It is complicated. Perhaps a good way of think about it is that insulin breaks down over time, so if it is delayed and impeded in getting absorbed, it will end up having less of an effect."
Edgar replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"Thanks for reply. My doubt is what happen with the insulin that to inject in the scar?. Disappear??"
Brian (bsc) replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"Scar tissue builds up as your body deposits collagen at the site of an injury. Normally, your body will reabsorb the collagen as the wound heals, but repeated injury to quickly at the same site can leave a build up of collagen. As others have noted,…"
Elizabeth replied to Edgar's discussion 'Scar tissue shot'"You pretty much nailed it, Edgar. Scar tissue prevents the insulin from diffusing under the skin so it does not get where it needs to go. That's a big reason to rotate sites and avoid scar tissue whenever you can."

Edgar replied to johnathon's discussion 'Why have my blood sugar numbers been so high lately??? Not normal anymore'"Because of your injury and lack of exercise, your metabolism is slowed and your need for insulin increases."
Edgar replied to TheOneType's discussion 'weights=Hyperglycemia???'"I usually train with weights at 5 pm and for sure I will have lows at 3 am and 10 am. At this moment my muscles need sugar.
One tip: try to take 1 day off every 2 -3 days of training. With this you give your body a break. When I train more than 3…"
