Effective rotation strategies include: Using different areas of the abdomen : Rotate through different sections of the abdomen, staying away from the navel and any previous injection sites Alternating between body regions : Use the abdomen one week, thigh the next week, creating a predictable pattern Avoiding previous injection sites : Choose a different spot away from your previous injection until the skin returns to normal Keeping a written or digital log : Track injection locations and dates to ensure systematic rotation, particularly helpful during the initial months of therapy Patients should inspect potential injection sites before each dose, looking for signs of previous injection reactions, including redness, swelling, hardness, or tenderness
