If you do not rotate your injection sites regularly, you can get fatty scar tissue that builds up over time. This can affect how well the insulin is absorbed by your body which can affect how it helps control your diabetes. You can check your injection site by feeling it - if there are lumps, you probably have some scar tissue buildup. You can ask someone on your diabetes health care team to help you check your injection sites if you are concerned.
