Dispose of the syringe in a hard plastic container.
Rotating Injection Sites
Injecting in the same place much of the time can cause hard lumps or extra fat deposits to develop. These lumps are not only unsightly; they can also change the way insulin is absorbed, making it more difficult to keep your blood glucose on target.
Follow these two rules for proper site rotation:
• Same general location at the same time each day.
• Rotate within each injection site.
