Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Batch lookup D-0718: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-01-06. 21:58
- luerlok — a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 22:08
- abdo_two_inch — slightly off topic but cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes, your mileage will differ 22:38
let it dry
bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure
dont recap
pinch

i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for
welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it
do you count to five before withdrawing
never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
slightly off topic but cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes, your mileage will differ
do you change the pin between drawing up and injecting
thats normal
how slowly should you actually push
31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back
31G 8mm
