Hey everyone I've just done an injection and it didn't feel right,the needle didn't go in properly but I just pushed the button on my insulin pen anyway and when I looked at it closer as I took the pen away from my stomach the needle was in a strange angle and I now have like a bubble under my skin which I'm guessing is just full of my insulin? Has this ever happened to anyone? I'm unsure if I should take another injection?

It has happened before but not that often, I wouldn't take another injection, just leave it for now and monitor your bg levels.

Maybe try massaging the spot lightly? It should hopefully resolve itself - your insulin may absorb slower though, so as said, monitor your bg.
