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.

Adding thigh and love handles to rotation. Thanks.

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