Hi, my mother is taking insulin injection on her abdomen on left or right right of the navel keeping 4 finger gap. Now she has a little pain due to injecting on same place for long and want to know if she can inject anywhere else on abdomen except left or right side of navel? Can she inject anywhere on the circle around navel keeping some gap? Please advise.
