[QUOTE="Eliminator, post: 55052, member: 15122"] My son was told by the nurse that if you get pain or ichy or red after an injection, that you should leave the needle in for 10 seconds after you have finished. Coz if you take it out too soon then the tiny amount left on the needle an cause the symtoms of pain or red or itchy on your skin. but if you leave it another 10 seconds your bloodstream will have washed it ALL off the end of the needle. He takes Novamix 30 & novarapid (if needed) they have just changed his pen to a novapen 4 silver, and he has had problems pressing them down too and had 3 new ones this week alone. I hope this is the info you need to help you. Mark [/QUOTE]
