• Change sides within an area. For example, if you inject your evening insulin in the thigh, try using the right thigh one evening, and the left thigh the next evening.
• You might find it useful to picture the face of a clock on your abdomen. That helps you to keep each of your injections at least one finger’s width from the last injection.
Ask the patient to examine their abdomen and picture “Noon” below your belly button. Place the first injection at Noon, your second injection at 1 o’clock, the third injection at 2 o’clock, and the fourth injection at 3 o’clock. The patient will not come back to the “Noon” spot again until day 4, which gives that spot a chance to rest.
