Choosing an injection site

• There are 7 areas on your body for injection: back of the upper arms (2 areas), front and outside of thighs (2 areas), upper buttocks/rear hips (2 areas), and stomach (abdomen).
  
  
• Each day of the week you should pick one of the seven areas, and from within that area, pick an injection site. Pick each injection area only once per week.
• Within each of the seven injection areas there are multiple sites. Rotate the injection sites within an area.
• Choose a different injection site each time.
• Please note: do not inject in any area that is painful or discoloured or where you feel firm knots or lumps.
• It is recommended to have a planned, rotating injection schedule, and to note it in a daily planner.
• There are some areas on your body that may be difficult for self-injection (like the back of the arm), and you may require assistance or the use of a self-injection device.
• Refer to the instructions at the back of this booklet for using the autoject^®2 device.
• Do not inject sites where skin depression has occurred because more injections in these sites may make the depression deeper.
