Insulin is not administered through the belly button because it is not an appropriate injection site; the area lacks the necessary subcutaneous tissue for effective absorption. Additionally, the umbilicus is a sensitive area and injecting insulin there could lead to irritation, infection, or improper dosing. Insulin is typically injected into areas with more fatty tissue, such as the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms, to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.
