Why a chart helps more than memory
Rotating injection sites is simple in theory and easy to lose track of in practice, especially weeks into a course. A chart turns “somewhere different each time” into a specific, checkable record.
What a useful chart shows
A basic body diagram with the common subcutaneous sites marked (abdomen, thighs, upper arms, sometimes glutes or love handles), each divided into a few zones, with space to note the date and zone used each week.
Using it alongside a written log
The chart tracks where; the log tracks when and what else happened that week. Used together, a quick glance shows both the physical rotation pattern and the week-by-week notes, without needing to cross-reference two separate systems.
A simple rotation pattern
Many people work through zones in a fixed order (left abdomen, right abdomen, left thigh, right thigh, repeat) rather than picking randomly, since a fixed order makes it easy to know at a glance where the last injection was without checking the log.
Keeping it simple
A chart doesn’t need to be elaborate. A basic body outline with a handful of zones marked, updated weekly, does the job. The value is in the habit of checking it before each injection, not in how detailed the chart itself is.
