From time to time I end up hitting a blood vessel and then getting a bleed from the injection site with, no doubt a leakage of insulin out. If it happens with my long acting at night I get bad test results the next day. I was wondering if there is any way to pick or select a site to avoid hitting a blood vessel? Also has anyone tried to pinch off any bleed which occurs to stop leakage? Also I wonder whether to attempt to inject another say 2 units immediately on another site to compensate? Although I don't know how much insulin gets lost. Any thoughts or experiences with this would be appreciated.
