- van_isle_vial — i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror 20:46
- split_dose_sam — unrelated but a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 21:32
abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month, i have it written down somewhere
i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice, i have it written down somewhere

nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do
not a problem
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising

45 degrees
if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle
unrelated but never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
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

Purity check: no report on file for lot G-0641. Nothing logged either way.
how slowly should you actually push
warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is

i bled a bit, is that a needle depth thing
unrelated but a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call
fresh pin
