Its been, what? almost three weeks since I stopped taking the insulin shots, and I still taste it in my mouth!! sheesh!!

I have a rash on my left leg, (the same one where the weephole was, and on the outside as it was also), that is very painful. It showed up about seven days or so, ago... I dont know if its related to that, or not?
