It is well known that repeatedly injecting insulin into the same fat tissue can cause lipohypertrophy. in other words, there is a local effect of insulin on the injected tissue.
Thus it seems reasonable to assume that a similar effect could be achieved when injecting insulin intramuscularly? Of course one would have to take into account the more rapid absorption (up to 2 times as fast) and higher risk of accidentally injecting into blood vessels.
Does anybody have experience with intramuscular insulin injections and noticed any local effects?
DISCLAIMER: Do not inject insulin intramuscularly unless supervised by a doctor or other qualified health care provider. Doing so carries a high risk of potentially fatal hypoglycemia and is not recommended.
