[QUOTE="kaylz91, post: 2185640, member: 358175"] These things happen and even those that have been injecting 30+ years still get the odd one that does this If you'd hit anything you would've produced quite a large spot of blood, I generally have that issue in my thighs more than my stomach If you'd hit muscle chances are the end result would more than likely have ended in you having a hypo, insulin is absorbed quicker if injected into muscle, hence why it isn't recommended Even in the same batch some needles can be blunter than others resulting in a sorer injection, also what size of needles are you using? If your in the UK then I would not recommend using the same needle more than once unless you really had to (like you were out and had forgotten to take more than one and you needed to inject more than once) I know people in the US do but they generally do it because supplies are expensive but it isn't a good thing to do xx [/QUOTE]
