[QUOTE="Vaper, post: 1599369, member: 355109"] Hi I'm type 1 and inject daily multiple times, here's a rhyme to help you out. New pen dial 10 (that's 10 units to clear air and get insulin coming out) every new needle dial 2 to check needle is not blocked or is engaged properly some needles need screwing on further than others.Try injecting either in stomach pinching an inch or in top of buttocks, inject slowly to avoid stinging. Good luck it takes a while to get used to this like finger pricking you barely notice after a while. [/QUOTE]
