Lipohypertrophy or other lesion found by observation and palpation
Support patient to:
- Avoid injecting into lipohypertrophy areas
- Monitor blood glucose levels frequently
- Reduce insulin dose as required to avoid hypoglycaemia
- Properly rotate injection sites
- Use shortest needle length (4mm) to minimise risk of intramuscular injection
- Use each needle once
- Inspect injection sites regularly (at least annually) to detect lipohypertrophy early
