[QUOTE="The_Reluctant_Diabetic, post: 1659424, member: 411216"] Hi. Happy New Year! Regarding leakage, I have had 0.25mm (31G) needles since I was put on Insulin nearly 3 months ago (I'm Type 2) and yes, I have had leakage (some quite spectacular!). I have also had painful lumps and difficulty injecting. I have been told that this is due to my incorrect technique. To answer your question I would say that leakage is likely. I sometimes have to have 2 or 3 goes at it - then try and guesstimate how much insulin I've lost to the atmosphere, floor, clothing etc. and compensate with what I gauge is the additional dosage to make up my units. This is my own method, I do not recommend it for anyone on a strict dosage - speak to your Diabetic Specialist. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
