[Diabetes-Talk] when out

[Tamera]

Pens are the greatest! My doc recently told me to shot through my clothes!
I agree, the thinner the material one feels more inclined.. and have not used alcohol wipes in  decades.
Only issue with thighs are if your thin and muscular... sometimes the insulin does not settle and absorb as well.

You can inject in your tummy, arm, thigh, butt. It doesn't have to be just the tummy. And little secret, when using pens, I've injected through fabric before, grin. In a pinch, if I had to do it in public, and wearing something like a dress, if the fabric isn't too thick, I've injected through my clothes.
