hello all, many times i injected my Insulin on and off on the right side of the abdomen. then i made the rotation. I never had my insulin working until i injected myself on the left side. usually my morning blood-sugar levels are around 180+ now its getting lower everyday just by injecting on the left side... why wasn't it working on the right side for years? ( on and off) cause i thought it wasn't working.

    The only information I have found about that is that some people build up scar tissue and then the insulin becomes ineffective. They recommend to inject only into the fat layer and not muscle tissue. They also recommend the thigh, upper arm and buttocks. I hope this helps.
