[QUOTE="Books1, post: 1598675, member: 139774"] Hi You're on a basal insulin that works over a long time rather than a fast acting bolus insulin so you won't see an immediate change in your bs but you should see a difference the following morning hopefully. You should always repeat the airshot if you don't see liquid coming out to ensure it's not just air. Your injection technique sounds ok - you've been unlucky hitting blood as this shouldn't happen often. Don't use too much force when pushing the needle in as that can lead to bruising. Let us know how you are getting on. [/QUOTE]
