The lipodystrophic spot in december 2011. It measured about 10x8 cm (hxw). In most parts of the spot, I could feel abdominal muscles directly beneath the skin. In addition, a blue vein was clearly visible. The difference between the left and right parts of my belly were clearly noticable when I was wearing a t-shirt or dress.
I started daily injections with Apidra insulin, using 4 mm needles. I started out at the region marked with blue inkt spots. I carefully injected the insulin into the fatty tissue, as close to the lipodystrophic spot I could get. I did this as often as possible, before every meal, mostly 2-3 times a day

This was the lipodystrophic spot in januari 2012. As can be seen in the picture, the edges of the lipodystrophic spot are starting to fill up. The vein is still visible, and I could still feel abdominal muscles just beneath the skin.

The lipodystrophic spot in june 2012. Not there yet, but still improving! The vein is no longer visible, abdominal muscles can no longer be felt directly beneath the skin. The difference between the left and right parts of my belly are no longer noticable when I'm wearing a t-shirt or dress.
