High Blood Sugars

[Jaylee]

I use a pen with 4mm needles. I feel that 4mm needles are the best for me. I sometimes use 6mm syringes and I follow the way that my doctor has suggested. I change the needles every second time.

OK, that's cool.. I use the same.
When injecting, do you slowly push the plunger button down & wait 10 seconds before retracting the needle from the skin?

Yes I wait for around 20 seconds

Sounds like you are doing the right things..

Do you inject your insulin straight from the fridge? Lantus can be painful when administered from cold.
