Highlights from this day
- blank_run — update from 7 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped 19:58
- blank_run — does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits 20:00
- blank_run — a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it 20:01
- pin29g — i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place, ymmv 20:13

i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely
is a small air bubble in the barrel a problem subcutaneously
