Answer:
perhaps a few reasons
Are you pinching up the tissue first? You may be squeezing too hard
I don't know how old you’re but a lot of diabetics take a daily aspirin which will make you more prone to bruising
Are you reusing the needles?
Dull needles cause tearing and this will cause local tissue trauma
Are you being rough in general?
You may be stabbing and using good wrist action like throwing a dart. Easy does it.
Were you taught to insert the needle, draw back and then inject? If so you might be drawing back too hard and damaging the tissue
Without knowing how you were taught, and without watching you it is hard to guess. I would advocate having a nurse in your family watch you and offer some pointers, most of all be gentle.
Answer:
I concur with cellio except that you don’t have to “draw back”.
The amount of insulin we use is not enough to require that.I have never done that. It is a misconception.Nurses always do this.
You don't need alcohol either.
Answer:
It is because when you inject you burst blood vessels, this is what causes bruises. Your skin is also tender so this happens more.
Answer:
this happens to me sometimes too..
sometimes its just because i put it in the muscle or because i've already taken a shot in that place.
