I kept injecting my Insulin on my stomach not knowing that the fat was going to accumulate and now I have two big bumps of fat on each side of my belly button. I already stopped injecting in the area. Is there other things I can do to help reduce the bumps?
Thanks for the answers. I would like to know how long do they take to go away? I have been working out and have lost about 10 pounds but I can still see the bumps in my stomach. How long will they take to go away?

You should talk to your doctor about it and ask him or her to approve other injection sites. I had a client this happened to, so she used her shoulder for a long time while the bumps on her belly went away. When that got too sore, she went back to her belly for a while, until the bumps developed again. Then she’d change to a different injection site. It’s good to rotate injection sites anyway. The bumps go away after a while.

    Try this: en.allexperts.com
    If I read it correctly, it will go away after time if you don’t use that spot anymore.

    I have the same lumps in my abdomen, and I haven’t injected there for about 12 months now. My endocrinologist says that time is the only healer … plus the use of other sites.
