warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is

how many sites are in your rotation
i inject the back of my own arm and it is awkward but doable with a mirror, i have it written down somewhere
a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it
i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice
do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass

drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly

bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure
a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising
