unrelated but update from 23 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped
i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge
genuine question warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is

is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first
abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month
slightly off topic but i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place
update on the earlier thing a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back
Reminder for gradient_greg: dose day is today. Set 2 days ago.
