hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you may have rash due to insulin injections.
-- these rashes may occur on the injection sites due to repeated injections.
-- also, rashes may occur over whole body due to allergy to the component of insulin.
-- change your injection sites frequently.
-- I would advise you to take levocetrizine od and apply calamine lotion twice a day.
-- consult with your physician regarding the Same concern.
-- also, restlessness at night may be a sign of hypoglycemia. consult your physician and get your blood sugar levels checked.
wishing you good health.
thank you
