How can I reduce the pain around Insulin injection site?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Let us go step wise just like your concerns. The best way for avoiding lumps, bumps, and pain due to repeated Insulin injections is by learning the proper technique for injecting yourself. Please meet a local doctor to learn the same. Also, keep changing the injection sites. You can inject yourself on your hands and thighs as well, after you have used up the area of your abdomen. Morning hypoglycemia means the dosage of Insulin you are taking is exceeding your blood glucose levels. Again, meet a local doctor, who will help you adjust your dosage according to your blood glucose levels so that you do not experience the hypoglycemia attacks. In case you are responding well to Metformin, the Insulin dosage can be lowered as the dosage of Metformin is gradually increased, again in correspondence with your blood glucose levels. I will advise you to buy a glucometer, and then once your doctor educates you on how to adjust your dosages, you can do it yourself. Food is the most common source of glucose. But, also are sweetened fruit juices, cakes, pastries, chocolates, energy drinks, aerated drinks, and alcohol. You will have to analyse by yourself, what you consume in excess and can then avoid the same accordingly. Medications are just supportive treatment for diabetes. You must understand that exercise will help your body to utilize glucose, increase insulin secretion and also decrease insulin resistance. This will help you reduce or get off Insulin and maybe lead a more normal life.
