[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1831869, member: 468055"] As I understand it, the dribbles of insulin we see after a shot are to do with the lower pressure in the air compared to inside the body. As long as the pen is primed properly with an air shot, which fills the needle with insulin, it will deliver the correct dose. We did have a thread about it a while ago, and some very clever engineering types explained it properly. Complete with formulae ;) [/QUOTE]
