[QUOTE="Hobs, post: 152452, member: 24693"] [b]Re: VICTOZA[/b] Yes, I can relate to those injection site bruises as I used to get them when I first started to inject Victoza, but not now. I now inject when I rise from my bed at the same time each morning so that the injected fluid does not just sit there as I lay in bed. I also gently massage the injection site and around the area for at least two full minutes to ensure full dispersal, and of course being that I have just got up from a nights rest/sleep, my body has a full day for my blood circulation to distribute the fluid as my body flexes and bends as I move around. I used to be[b] very[/b] dubious about injecting, but now after many months I could probably do it with my eyes closed, being that I know it takes twenty 'clicks' to set the 1.2 dose and twenty clicks felt through my thumb as I SLOWLY inject the fluid over fifteen seconds. I then leave the needle in me for another [b]slow[/b] count of ten before removing it from my midriff. One thing I did notice early on was that I was not holding the pen stable enough and my hand would ever so slightly tremble, so now I use a more steady grip and hardly ever get an injection site bruise. I hope your wife soon gets the hang of easy injecting and please come back and let us know how she gets on. [/QUOTE]
