Hi
I have just injected my Basil for overnight into my thigh and some insulin ran down my leg so not sure how much I've actually injected. Has anybody done this before and how did it work out? This is first time this has happened?

Worst case scenario, your bg runs a little high

Yes I’ve done it when pulling needle out too early

Hi
Yes i've done it.
If your levels go high just treat it as you normally would treat a high.

Thanks, blood sugar high to start with!
You basal won't do anything about that anyway.
Have you gotten any guidance on how to use your bolus insulin to correct high blood glucose?
