Patient's question:
My grandfather has diabetes and has developed hard lumps on his skin after taking insulin. How can these be completely eliminated? Seeing him in pain, I feel terrible too. He keeps saying it's nothing, but I want to do whatever I can to alleviate his suffering. So, if anyone knows, could you please give some advice?Doctor's answer:
If you have diabetes and experience hardened skin again after taking insulin, there is no need to be too worried. This is a very normal reaction. It is recommended to pay attention to rotating the injection sites for insulin. You can inject insulin on the inner thigh or shoulder. Be mindful of the new injection sites and apply appropriate cold compresses, which should help stabilize the symptoms.
