High Blood Sugars

I use a pen with 4mm needles. I feel that 4mm needles are the best for me. I sometimes use 6mm syringes and I follow the way that my doctor has suggested. I change the needles every second time.

OK, that's cool.. I use the same.
When injecting, do you slowly push the plunger button down & wait 10 seconds before retracting the needle from the skin?

Sounds like you are doing the right things..

Do you inject your insulin straight from the fridge? Lantus can be painful when administered from cold.
