for the archive bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure
small bubble is fine

coming back to this do you use the insulin syringe for both drawing and injecting
unrelated but never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
i bled a bit, is that a needle depth thing
anyone inject in the back of the arm on their own successfully
push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards, thats one data point
warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is
i keep getting a small welt at the site, technique or reaction

i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror
coming back after 23 months, has the pinned technique guide changed
does injecting a cold vial hurt more or am i imagining it
follow up drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
not a problem

wk3 L abdo lower wk7 L arm back
wk4 R abdo lower wk8 R arm backif you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle
sorry to jump in is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first
31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back
slightly off topic but i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place
abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month
31G in 8mm or 12.7mm for abdomen
absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound
