[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 920382, member: 84857"] Apologies for duplication from another thread but wanted to ask advice about 10 second rule on injecting.... ....background info from other thread.... How is the best way of explaining the 10 second rule when injecting insulin....what are the reasons behind this...is it to do with absorption or minimising leakage.....why 10 seconds...what happens if you do less than 10 seconds.... Am just wondering how I can best explain this to my partner to improve his injection technique and perhaps minimise the pain and bleeding he currently experiences......and if those problems exist because of poor injection technique.. [USER=81638]@Shar67[/USER] did suggest (on other thread) getting the dn to explain this to him but unfortunately I am unable to go to his next appointment with him to ask the question and regardless of this being explained on a couple of occasions in the past he soon reverts back to the 'quick in and out' method. ..as I see him inject on a daily basis I was wondering if there are any useful suggestions I could make (preferably on a casual basis) that will encourage him to follow the 10 second rule.
