Hi guys, Can you elucidate?
I've just started injecting NovoRapid in my belly and take 1u generally. But I've twice noticed something I never see injecting basal in my thighs. I keep the pen button depressed for about 10 seconds, then draw the needle out slowly. My DN told me to wait 10 more secs with it half out. Even so, though, I've twice noticed that a large bubble of insulin has come out with the needle. Why is this? Am I getting the dose? How can I stop it?
All advice welcome. I'm wondering if it's anything to do with the (very) special qualities of my belly fat. I'm positively scrawny these days, but I still have some flobber on tummy.
