[QUOTE="Flakey Bake, post: 599137, member: 71327"] I guess the majority of veins and capillaries are too deep or too narrow for this to occur normally. I am a very veiny person (if there is such a thing) I prefer to inject my lantus into my thighs and my basal in my tum, I just have a quick look before I inject. Try and hit the fatty part of your thigh, if you don't have a lot of body fat use a shortish needle (5mm). When I posted my hypo experience, many people did not believe it was possible to accidentally inject into a vein. But my hypo was so prolonged and required so much sugar to correct, that it is the only plausible explanation that I could come up with. It was a one-off, so try not to worry. [/QUOTE]
