I was having trouble injecting on my thigh and finally I got it then after inserting it halfway it hurt so bad I pulled out and it bled a few drops. I'm anxious I hit a vein or something it left a mark and it hurts. I was using a new needle. Should I do something other than cotton alcohol swab...

I figured it out thank you :)

Thank you for your low blood suggestions! I put candy and juice nearby as that seemed to help last time. I never had the hypo at night/dawn so I freaked.

It got better after a while no pain but I noticed on my right thigh it leaves red spots day after even if there wasn't at the the time. Any way to avoid those? I do pinch but seems thigh skin isn't as loose as tummu

I had that hypo experience last couple of days. I think I injected into a blood vessel or muscle. That spot left a mark and got sore. I used a 4mm needle. The burning went a way it was just the first few times I tried the thigh. Now I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong where I inject I...

I should probably test before bed but I keep forgetting. Only before meals. I will ask my gp about that

I woke up shaking like a leaf and sweating like mad I couldn't test. But the am one I did finger prick. I use insulin pen novorapid. I thought I put it in mu profile will fix that.

Has anyone experienced have early morning like 2am onwards lows when the last test was ok? I've had had that twice in a row already. This morning was at 68 / 3.8. I wonder if sleep related.

My right thigh seems to have trouble than the left. I keep hitting something, this time it bled. Either my thigh lacks fat or I'm doing it wrong.

I didn't know it could happen with blood vessels too. I thought they would bleed if hit. Must be that.it was 70/30 mix insulin. I wondered if that happened. Any thoughts on pulling out method?

Yup straight out. I tried an angle before and it felt like the needle poked around. Does anyone know if you inject into the vein, is it possible to get hypo hours after? Not suddenly after?

Thanks! I'm having trouble pulling out from the thigh. Sometimes it's painful and uncomfort I worry the needle might break.

It seems only my right thigh feels that way. It feels warm and like the insulin flowing.

4mm and Novolog mix 70/30. My second try worked better. Then it started again. More like the area is warm and I feel the a flowing sensation. Not as bad as the first time only on my right thigh it happens.

@kitedoc did you ever leave marks after? The burning stopped second time but now I feel it again. More I feel the insulin flowing feeling?

Sometimes I do sides and those hurt more. It's weird it varies for some reason

Could it be cause I used my thigh for a premixed insulin?

Thanks! I'm not sure what is was. It lasted a few minutes only. Will keep trying though

Hi again I just switched sites for injections tp my thigh. Outer area. Anyone ever experience burning feeling after? Nothing during just after. I'm using novolog mix. 4mm needle. Thanks

Ok so I tried the outer thigh why does it burn after no pain during or upon removal just after. Anyone experience that
