Hi,
Bleeding from umbilicus is not possible due to insulin injection in an abdominal skin unless and either she had a blood vessel in umbilical fold injured or there is some infection or inflammation of umbilicus which has discharge through the part. She needs an examination of the part by a surgeon to clarify and get the lesion treated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
