- surpass_two — genuine question warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is, we shall see pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw… 14:46
- swab_dry_first — do you use the insulin syringe for both drawing and injecting 16:20
- surpass_two — i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves 16:24
- surpass_two — cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes 16:27
genuine question warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is, we shall see
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising
let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting"
anyone inject in the back of the arm on their own successfully
do you use the insulin syringe for both drawing and injecting

*PeptideMeter not the other one
i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place
never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes
do you pinch or stretch
right so do you change the pin between drawing up and injecting
