Hi,
Any other ladies out there with GDM? I'm injecting myself 4 times a day as I did with bub no 2 and I've got this really itchy red lumpy bit where I inject. Anyone else had this? I'm seeing the nurse tomorrow, but was wondering in the meantime if anyone else has experienced this? I was fine with my last pregnancy injections. I'm using a large surface area to inject so it's not always in the same place. Also Novorapid seems to sting more than Protophane long acting, anyone else notice this? Cheers -------------

| Definatly get the lump checked out and completely avoid injecting anywhere near this area. Ask the nurse about alternative injection sites. |

Hmmm, I haven't had any issues with injection sites, I hope yours clears up quickly! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

It took about 5 days but the lump has gone and it's less itchy, still injecting any where near it is a bit painful.
Thanks for your advice. -------------
