[QUOTE="Jollymon, post: 2358487, member: 480011"] Insulin just needs to be injected under the skin. Not into the muscle mass below. Remember this! Sometimes I use a short chip clip to pinch up the skin and make a tent. The chip clip hurts, but it’s a distraction for the injection site. Then I inject into the raised up portion of skin. The sooner I inject the faster I can remove the chip clip. The chip clip is really handy for me when I inject into the back of my arm, since I have to do this one handed without the help of the hand attached to the arm that’s being injected. [/QUOTE]
