Highlights from this day
- VialBot — Verification log updated: TFC — evidence added, status unchanged. 13:59
- aliquot_ada — i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge, anyway 15:20
- rotate_the_site — i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely 15:23
- sgp_subq — a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call 15:28
never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
mark it down
90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not
