I have just registered and hope to learn something from other members about injecting insulin. I am in my 70's and have had type 2 diabetes for 6 years, taking tablets. Have just gone on to insulin, (3 months ago)and am having some teething problems. I take 70 units of Levemir (in 2 injections) per day, the sugar levels are not controlled properly yet, and often the site of the injection comes up like an angry mosquito bite and irritates for days. Does anyone on the forum have an opinion on this? MAUREEN
