How to inject in the leg?
You must rotate your injection sites! That is the key. I really don't know how to get rid of them but do talk to your doctor about that or google it maybe. Again, rotate your injection sites!!! Because as you've noticed, if you don't rotate than you will get fat deposits and it is not attractive or would I say comfortable!

What are the nursing considerations for insulin?
a. Be certain to give the correct type of insulin. b. Prepare the correct dosage. Have another nurse double-check the dose before you administer the injection. c. Use the correct syringe. Never use a regular syringe for insulin. Use a syringe calibrated in "units." d. Before drawing up the insulin, gently "roll" the bottle between your palms to mix and warm the solution. e. Eliminate all air bubbles from the syringe. One small air bubble may displace 2 or 3 units of insulin. f. Cleanse the skin with alcohol and allow to dry. This helps avoid pitting of the skin. g. Give the injection subcutaneously. Rotate the injection site with each dose. (Rotating the sites prevents tissue necrosis.) . h. Always check to see whether the patient is and has been eating his normal diet.
Why is it important to teach the client to rotate insulin sites within one area before proceeding to the next area on a rotation schedule?
The patient needs to prevent infection as well as scarring.
Why subcutaneous injection required rotation of sights?
It's not sights that rotate, but sites...places. If you continue to inject in the same spot, you may build up scar tissue there. This can affect how well the medication is absorbed. It may not work when it's supposed to, and something that's time-released (like long-acting insulin) may release all at once.
Where Can you inject insulin?
Insulin is injected subcutaneously. That means that it needs to go under your skin in the "sub Q" tissue. Places that are easily injectable and suitable for insulin shots are the abdomen and thighs. Just be sure to rotate your injection sites, and stay away from your belly button area.The following advice is based upon information from the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research:You may inject insulin into any area of your body where a layer of fatty tissue is present and where large blood vessels, nerves, muscles and bones aren't too close to the surface.Insulin is best injected into the abdomen because of quick and consistent absorption. Avoid the 2-inch circle around the navel, which doesn't absorb as well. Rotate the site of each injection. Your doctor or diabetes educator may recommend alternative areas for injection, such as the back of your upper arms, thighs or buttocks.In the US it is recommend that overweight or normal weight adult individuals use the shorter 5/16 in. (8 mm) insulin syringe needle. However, technique is important when injecting insulin and can make a big difference in the absorption and dosing. The preferred injection site is the abdomen, although other sites can be used. And a person should inject straight in at a 90-degree angle, holding the needle in place for a count of 10 before removing. Very lean people using 5/16 in. (8 mm) needles may need to pinch the skin and inject into a skin fold to prevent the possibility of injecting into muscle. Individuals already using the 1/2 in. (12 mm) needles should also use a skin fold.
Why does the body get sore in injection sites from using heroin?
This is most likely due to a missed shot, where the user fails to register a vein & injects into muscle. One should apply a hot wash cloth with slight pressure to the sore area & it should improve in a matter of a few days. If that isn't the case, and your veins are bruised, rotate injection sites to minimize damage. Bottom line is that an addict will occasionally miss a shot, and sticking needles into oneself is bound to cause a little soreness isn't it?

Suggest why bacteria are chosen to make human insulin?
The insulin gene will be extracted from cells from an animal such as a pig, and placed into the loop of DNA in a microorganism. When the microorganism reproduces, the DNA gene will reproduce with it, and this is repeated again and again and the micro-organsms will produce insulin. Whe a sufficient amount of microorganisms have been grown, the insulin will be extracted and used in medicine
