It has been a few years ago in 2014 that I was injecting for my diabetes. I never like self injecting, so had my wife inject it into me in my arm!

Prefer. Pen and do it myself. Inject right side of my abdomen.

I take a Dulaglutide weekly 1.5mg glucagon like peptide injectable subcutaneously to manage my blood glucose and hba1c levels, control my appetite and help me manage my weight. I inject it myself. I'm insulin resistant as a type II diabetic. The subcuten is the layer of fat around the abdomen. I'm not supposed to inject in the same injection site but alternate each part of my subcuten.

I inject up to 4 times daily. Don't mind doing it and will use whatever.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to know what people prefer as far as injection sites and methods. I rotate between my abdomen and thigh using a syringe, it is easier for me to administer myself? What is your preferred method (syringe, pen or pump?) and location?
