Insulin
Hi I've injected before dinner into my finely tuned belly, however when I removed the needle I noticed a bead of insulin after. I had my dinner and am now unsure what to do other than testing 2 hours later

Any advice gratefully received
 
You can't do anything but test, as you're doing and see how your sugars are.

Occasionally you will get a tiny leak. It's annoying, I know. Hopefully it was small and won't cause too much trouble.
 
As @azure said, it can happen.. Sometimes to no ill effect. (I might add.)
Mainly happens if it hits muscle? You did imply you had the body of Adonis.. I have no reason to disbelieve you.. ;)
 
Thanks for the advice, I haven't got much fat left after using it all while unknowingly my ruined pancreas did nothing!
 
Join the club! I have trouble injecting anywhere due to lack of sufficient fat tissue. My butt and inner thigh are the only places I can inject without it leaking straight back out, I also get instant bruising if I try and inject anywhere else, that's if I can even depress the plunger on the **** pen.
