A member asked:
I read an internet article about scar tissue for people administering insulin. insulin absorption would be degraded. how far it is true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes true: This is why we recommend rotation of the injection sites. Your doctor can examine you to see if you already have lipohypertrophy. Avoid injecting into the same place every time.
