I'm wondering how many other insulin users find this problem.
Sometimes, when using an insulin pen, it delivers a stream of insulin and doesn't leave any residual fluid hanging on the end of the needle. At other times, the insulin is deivered as a series of drops, and a wee drip remains on the needle even after it is withdrawn.
Changing the needle makes no difference to this and so I'm thinking it might have more to do with the vial, perhaps the volume of air relative to insulin.
The problem is, if you are using a small dose, a wee drip can be a large percentage of it.
Anyone else struggle with this?
All the best,
fergus
