Three weeks into daily Sub-Q Ipa into abdomen and I've got a lumpy, bruised patchwork on each side. Rotating 6 sites. Is there a better approach, or do I switch to thigh?

Warm compress 10 min before pin, ice 30 sec after. Bruising drops a lot. Also — 29g or 31g insulin pin, not a larger gauge. Tiny gauge with slow push.

Expand your rotation. 6 sites is too few for daily pinning past week 2. Switch to thigh + love handles + abdomen for 10-12 total sites. Each site gets a week of rest.

Thigh has been better for me than abdomen for daily pinning. Less subcutaneous fat variation, more even absorption, less bruising.

The warm compress tip is real — bruising dropped like 70% once I started doing it.
