Are you rubbing the injection site? I was told not to when I first started on insulin, as doing so would bruise. Also needle goes straight (not crooked) in, inject, count ten, straight out.

My DSN said there was no need to pinch. I inject into the stomach and have very little bruising; perhaps I'm lucky.
