Committee Recommendations (2)

MHRA Safety Alert

Cutaneous amyloidosis can be considered as a differential diagnosis to lipodystrophy when a patient presents with subcutaneous lumps at an insulin injection site.  Healthcare professionals are advised to ensure that all people who inject insulin are taught to check for signs of developing cutaneous amyloidosis or lipohypertrophy and that they should report any abnormalities to their healthcare professional.

Refer to the Cutaneous amyloidosis Guidance for Healthcare Professionals below
