Remember, avoid scarring and induration, and switch positions each time to give your insulin more "routes" to choose from.
2. Abdomen: The abdomen is another popular area, specifically the inner upper arms and the front of the thighs. Absorption here is relatively stable, but be careful not to hit too close to the bone to avoid pain.
3. Arms: Although not as common here as the buttocks and abdomen, the inside of the arms is also a good choice, especially for non-dominant hands. However, remember to avoid hitting areas with too many joints or muscles.
4. Back: If you're a newbie or have old injuries to your hips and abdomen, your back is a safe bet. But again, avoid the spine and bones.
