When administering a subcutaneous insulin injection, what is the best practice for site rotation to prevent lipohypertrophy?

Use the same general area, like the abdomen, but inject at least one inch away from the previous spot. Alternate between the left arm and the right arm for every injection. Use the exact same injection spot for one week, then switch to a new area the next week. Only use the thigh for injections as it is the least sensitive area.

Correct Answer:

Use the same general area, like the abdomen, but inject at least one inch away from the previous spot.
