Sites for Injection for Women
Where are the injection sites on a woman that are best? I’ve been
putting it about 2 inches above my belly button or more.. as my nurse
said to.. but I’ve found that the medicine that comes out sometimes.
Anyone know where there is a picture that shows?
Thanks!

Click on the button to the right to view the injection areas.
I was shown to make a fist and place my fist at my belly button. I was
told to inject starting on one side and then moving gradually over to
the other side. Although I do not like to inject in the middle. Just
a psychological thing. Hope it helps.

The site is fine, just hold the needle in for another 10 seconds

BYETTA should be injected into your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm
******************************************************8
I usually inject the Byetta into my more than adequate belly and it works
well and is usually painless. One day I tried injecting into my thigh and WOW,
did that HURT! I was so surprised by the pain that I yanked the needle back
out by instinct and then redid the injection in my stomach. Now that is the
only place I use! Janet

I hhad always used my stomach area in the beginning untill I noticed that my
stomach would well or the med would lake too long to go into my system and I
sugar woud suddenly drop……..I spoke to my doctor who suggested that I should
rotate my sites due to one site becoming resistant to the byetta…….I shot in
injection into my upper thigh and upper arms…….yes it does hurt a bit more
than the stomach region but my byetta works better now and I don’t experience
the sudden drops I use too…….I gues each person has to do what works best
for them….

I have in my hands a new OneTouch Ultra II and Diabetes Management Software
Pro 3.1. My LifeScan rep dropped it off yesterday. Actually the first one
wouldn’t work so I nabbed another out of the box she left and it seems to
work fine. One of the new features is a backlight.

6 lbs this week - 28 lbs total this year, 68lbs since 09/03. I was getting
discouraged. We have these hyper-accurate in-floor digital scales, so it’s
right.

I have a question: I just injected it closer to my umbilicus than I
had ever previously gotten. I cannot believe how much it hurt! It
still hurts, in fact. Does anyone know the reason why they say to stay
a fist out from the center of the umbilicus? Is it because of nerves,
or because of vessels? I am a little nervous that I injected it into a
vessel and don’t know what it will do to me.

How is this software different from the software available on the website
(which is OneTouch(r) Diabetes Management Software v.2.3)? It is intended for
doctors’ offices?
