Background and Aims: Incorrect injection technique can cause lipohypertrophy resulting in unpredictable insulin release. We aimed to assess the impact of a correct injection technique and lipohypertrophy on HbA1c, hypoglycemia and glucose variability.Methods: 171 insulin-injecting people with diabetes were prospectively evaluated for 6 months. 146 subjects completed the study (75 type 1, 71 type 2). They were provided extensive education concerning injec...
