It was hypothesized that the earlier stage of LH is nodular hyperechoic LH. If nodular LH is not found in time and the patient continues to inject insulin at the LH site and/or reuse needles, LH will develop into a diffuse type or, even worse, a hypoechoic one. Different subtypes of LH may represent differences in severity when blood glucose control is considered as an important resolution indicator. Further studies are needed to confirm our hypothesis on the progression and reversion of insulin-induced lipohypertrophy.
