Q:

How do I make sure the insulin I inject is getting into the fat in my body?

A:

When you inject insulin, your goal is to get the needle tip into the fat layer underneath your skin. This will allow the insulin to be well absorbed. If your needle is too long, or you don't have a lot of fat at your injection site, you may actually push the needle in past the fat and it will end up in the muscle.
