You really should not do this -- it affects the way the Victoza or insulin is absorbed.

I can't answer about Victoza, but you should not be having pain from an Insulin injection site. Perhaps you are picking a spot that has thin skin and you are going into the muscle. Insulin is supposed to be injected subcutaneously, which means below the skin, in the fat layers, but above the muscles. Talk to your doctor, please.

Why insulin injection is not given at the same site always?

Insulin injections are not given at the same site consistently to prevent lipodystrophy, which is the buildup of fat or scar tissue at the injection site that can affect insulin absorption. Rotating injection sites helps ensure consistent absorption and effectiveness of insulin. Additionally, using different areas of the body can reduce discomfort and the risk of developing complications associated with repeated injections in the same location.

When giving an insulin injection why does the needle bend?

A needle may bend during an insulin injection due to improper technique, such as using a needle that is too short for the injection site or applying excessive pressure. Additionally, injecting into a muscle rather than subcutaneous tissue can cause the needle to bend. Using needles that are designed for insulin injections and ensuring proper technique can help minimize this issue.


Why change location of insulin injections?

Repeated injection into the same site would be somewhat painful, increase the risk of infection at the site, but most significantly, would eventually cause a build-up of scar tissue at that site which could decrease the ability to inject there and the reduced blood flow due to scar tisssue would prevent the insulin being effectively absorbed.
