Hello. So, when I inject I usually inject into my tummy, thigh or bottom. I use a 4mm needle, stick it in, count to 10 slowly, and pull it out. But there is always a small droplet of insulin at the end of the needle once I've pulled it out.... and sometimes there's a "wet patch" of insulin around my injection site. I don't (yet!) suffer from any lumps and bumps and what have you.....
... is this a problem? Am I getting my full dose? How do I stop it from happening (if it is a problem that is)?
Thoughts appreciated!
