Also these sites make it easier to inject into the subcutaneous tissue, where insulin injection is recommended.
Common sites for insulin injection are :
A-Abdomen :the most common insulin injection site because it has easily accessible fatty areas and Insulin is absorbed faster when it is injected into the abdomen " So:you should inject the insulin into the abdomen just before meals",Also This area allows for greater access if injecting individually. Notes:
Do not inject within 1-2 inches around the navel "tissue is tough" ,surgical, other scar tissue, moles.B-Thighs :The middle and outer thigh area is another one of the common insulin injection sites that are suitable for injecting long-acting insulin.Don't inject too close to the area just above knee because the tissue is very tough.
C-Arms :The back of the upper arm
