[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1914312, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=469376]@boboblck[/USER], Very glad you are still with us. Yes, they are very scary. I wonder whether you accidentally injected your insulin into a blood vessel? In the 'good, old days', before insulin pens, one could draw back on the plunger of the syringe to see if there was a back-flash of blood to indicate a blood vessel strike and so take the needle out of the skin and try somewhere else. I recall about two blood strikes in my 15 years on insulin before pens took over from syringe/needle combos. Of course no clue about when I was on pens, and two blood strikes when placing needle inserts for my insulin pump starting some 7 years ago. I hope it never happens again to you!! [/QUOTE]
