I was on MDI, up to 6-7 shots a day and alsmost always did them in my upper thighs,occasionally in the tummy, upper and lower abdomen. I began to get the "lumpie bumpies" on both thighs, so I…"
Doris D replied to GummyBearSteff's discussion 'Insulin Build up anyone?'"I've been a Type 1 for 38 years and my arms (where I would only take shots when I was a kid) are the same way to a point. I just got to where over 2 or 3 years I just didn't use them and they went down abit That's all the info I have…"
GummyBearSteff replied to GummyBearSteff's discussion 'Insulin Build up anyone?'"I had them in my legs when i was younger so i had to do them in my stomach, then my stomach got to the way it is and now its time for my arms to go the same way. I just want to get rid of my stomach lumps as they are the worst and then ill know how…"
Chris Miller replied to GummyBearSteff's discussion 'Insulin Build up anyone?'"I had that problem in my legs before too. I have pretty much stopped giving injections in my legs altogether, and the lumps have gone away. Now my stomach has the lumps, but I guess that's the tradeoff."
JohnG replied to GummyBearSteff's discussion 'Insulin Build up anyone?'"Lantus was no good for me, it caused big lumps especially if I injected it close to the waistband on my trousers. Levemir did not cause these big bumps and lumps."

The doctors have never talked about that with me, they just say it will disappear in time. I have changed my injection sites however which made it go down over the past two years, But as like most…"
JohnG replied to GummyBearSteff's discussion 'Insulin Build up anyone?'"I suffered from lipodystrophy for many years and switching insulin does help. When I started pumping it completely went away...which my doctor said made no sense at all but I'm glad it's gone...:-)"
"The name for that is lipodystrophy; you might find out more if you look for information by that name. I have some very minor lipodystrophy in my legs. Lipodystrophy sometimes goes away by itself with time. If it's aggressive and keeps…"
