How should insulin be injected?
Insulin is injected subcutaneously, or beneath the skin. Before injecting your insulin, pinch a small area of fatty tissue on your upper arm, thigh, or stomach. Each area has slightly different absorption rates, so find the one that works best for you. Clean the area with an alcohol wipe and then insert the needle straight into the pinched area of skin. inject the insulin completely and allow the needle to rest for 2 or 3 seconds before pulling it out to allow the insulin to absorb so it does not leak back out.
