[QUOTE="Imran Farooq, post: 1227433, member: 122183"] Hi I use the very same Nova pens. I have the same problems at times. When you inject your insulin, sometimes it forms a thick tissue underneath the skin. Once you insert the needle, and then try pushing the top end, it becomes very difficult and hard. It's like a force pushing back. This is because you've injected into the hard tissue. There is no place for the liquid to go to. If you remove the insulin pen at that moment and inject it in another area, you'll find it becomes easy to push the end of the pen again. I have stop these problems from occurring by thoroughly messaging the area before and after the injection with my thumbs. [/QUOTE]
