- Abdomen (periumbilical, excluding 2-inch radius from navel)
- 10–20mm
- Fastest (high regional blood flow)
- Excellent (large surface area allows 8+ discrete sites)
- Easy (full visual access and reach)
- Primary site. Validated in Phase 3 trials, optimal for daily long-term use
- Anterior/Outer Thigh
- 8–15mm
- Moderate (lower blood flow than abdomen)
- Good (sufficient surface area for 6–8 sites per thigh)
- Easy (full visual access)
- Secondary site. Use when abdominal tissue compromised or rotation needed
- Outer Upper Arm (posterior-lateral deltoid)
- 6–12mm
- Moderate to slow (lowest blood flow)
- Limited (small usable area limits rotation to 4–5 sites)
- Difficult (requires assistance or contortion for self-injection)
- Tertiary site. Reserve for situations where abdomen and thighs unavailable
