[QUOTE="coco44, post: 1252629, member: 90651"] Thanks both for your replies. I threw the pen away as I thought the insulin would most definitely be contaminated. I felt it was a waste, but no way could I have used the rest of the insulin. I felt disgusted too, partly because it looked horrible mingling with the insulin and I kept imagining it wasn't my blood, but I'm sure it had to be. I still can't work out how it happened in all my years of injecting, I just hope it doesn't happen again. My 2nd immediate thought after the shock was what if some of my Lantus dose had gone back into the pen, but readings have been fine today so dose appears not to have been affected. [/QUOTE]
