Abdominal insulin injection may accelerate absorption and glycemic effects; hypothesis-generating for site rotation, needing prospective trials before practice change.
Does varying the insulin injection site affect insulin absorption and postprandial blood glucose control in insulin-dependent diabetic patients?
Changing insulin injection sites between different anatomic regions significantly alters insulin absorption rates and postprandial glycemic control.
Koivisto et al. (1980) studied this question.
