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.

Can you get so many insulin injections that your Diabetes is cured?

No. Diabetes is not cured by using insulin injections. You are giving yourself insulin injections because your body cannot produce enough insulin itself; therefore, if you were not to take the insulin injections you would have further detrimental complications. Once your body stops making insulin, it never "starts" making it again.

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.

The recommended guidelines for administering insulin injections using insulin needles for dogs include: Use a clean and sterile needle for each injection. Inject the insulin subcutaneously (under the skin) in the scruff of the neck or flank area. Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue damage. Follow the prescribed dosage and schedule provided by your veterinarian. Monitor your dog's blood sugar levels regularly and adjust the insulin dosage as needed. Seek veterinary advice if you have any concerns or questions about administering insulin injections to your dog.
