Lypohypertrophy in patients receiving insulin therapy: state of the art

As known insulin therapy is associated with induration of subcutaneous fat at injections sites called lypohypertrophy. It develops at any age and at anysite regardless of duration of the treatment. The size of lypohypertrophy varies in a wide range. Numerous studies have been conducted to elucidatem...
