[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 720753, member: 11028"] You will always get some insulin which is visible at the end of the needle when you withdraw it Lucy, as long as you prime the needle before dialling up the 1 unit there shouldn't be a problem. You can leave the needle under the skin for much longer if you want, not sure why your DSN has said to leave the needle half way in for 10 seconds, just inject the insulin and leave it as it is for 15 seconds and see if that makes a difference.
