What to do if Lipodystrophy is suspected?

[DarkMan X]

Hi,

My name is Gabe. I've been on TRT since August 2021. I've switched to Defy Med in March of 2022. I am also Type 2 diabetic who uses Novolog Subcutaneous insulin.

Since Defy is the only clinic that suggested using Testosterone Subcutaneously, I did so starting in March 2022. However, I've also noticed (since March) that my SubQ insulin is not as effective as before. Diabetics are often warned of a condition called "Lipodystrophy" which happens after some places on your body get used too much for drug injections. Lipodystrophy can also cause your body to "reject" the given injected medication.

Has anyone here ever had this happen to them before? When your perform a Subcutaneous injection (in any place on your body) and the given medication (insulin, HcG, testosterone, ANYTHING) just doesn't work or just doesn't absorb at all? And if so - what did you do to fix this condition?

Thanks for reading!

So I ran across the term "Ventrogluteal IM injection site" and found an article describing it as what is currently the most medically recommended injection site. I tried it a few times now and have to agree. No blood gushing pinholes, no veins, no nerves, minimal pain. IN: The Ventrogluteal IM...
