A member asked:

My stomach is sore & bruised from insulin shots, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, VFN: Hi. Yep, bruising is very normal when you're taking insulin. I've been on insulin for 40 years, and my belly is always bruised (although never sore...higher pain threshold, I guess). Keep your diabetes well controlled! Good luck!
