After an, er, ‘eventful’ Christmas in terms of BG management (you try leaving your Lantus on the other side of the country on Christmas Eve :o), I’ve had to inject rather a lot of Novorapid over the last couple of days (250 units, fact fans).
Leaving aside the unmitigated disaster that was my diabetes management over the festive period, as you might imagine, having to inject large amounts of insulin frequently has had a rather dramatic effect on my injection sites – namely, I managed to hit capilaries pretty much every single time.
I now have six horrendously purple bruises each the size of my thumb across my stomach. Does anyone have any recommendations for what makes bruises go away a bit quicker?
