45 degrees
i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for
how slowly should you actually push

thats normal
*that should say weekly
how many sites are in your rotation
rotate
do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing
quick one 90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not
warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is
i keep getting a small welt at the site, technique or reaction
31G 8mm
push slow

do you count to five before withdrawing
is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first
31G in 8mm or 12.7mm for abdomen

90 degrees or 45
bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure

small bubble is fine
anyone inject in the back of the arm on their own successfully
a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it

thigh or abdomen, does absorption actually differ
