Can Insulin Injections Be Done On The Fatty Underside Of A Breast?
Can insulin injections be done on the fatty underside of a breast? I am having some sort of allergic reaction on my stomach/legs and would rather not inject there right now! Obviously my arm is the other option, but I find the absorption there to be terrible, it often leaves a lump, and gets itchy.

WHEN YOU HAVE SOMANY SITES TO INJECT INSULIN,BREAST IS NOT THE BEST
WHY TO POKE THE BALOONS? ONLY THE LOONS DO IT.
AS THE BREAST IS A MASS OF FAT YOU MAY DEVELOP FAT ATROPHY WHICH MAY BE PAINFUL,EVEN DISFIGURING.YOU SHOULD NOT SPOIL YOUR OWN DECOR
ONCE AGAIN SEE THE INJECTION SITES IN THE ENCLOSED PICTURE OR INTERNET
