hello so am having a problem my sugar going up to 12 when i want to inject 1unit and take the needle out then my insuline is coming out inhave tried to leave the pen for 2 minutes inside my body but when i remove it then the insulin comes out im am struggling to get it in to my body
 
If you are holding the needle in for that long the insulin will go in. Does the spike to 12 come down again in time? Do you pre-bolus?
 
It’ll, be going in, please don’t worry. Them;title,drop that appears at the end of the needle is quite normal, it’s due to the pressure within the needle being a little higher than the surrounding air when you take it out of your body.

Are you doing an air shot before injecting? The little squirt of a couple of units into the air before you do your injection? That ,ales sure the needle is primed and ready to go. The pens are super accurate, so you’ll be getting the right dose.
