i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place

i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge, i have it written down somewhere
cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes, thats just me
slightly off topic but update from 10 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped

right so 90 degrees or 45
push slow
nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do
thats normal
anyone inject in the back of the arm on their own successfully
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly

90 degrees works fine if you have the tissue for it. 45 if you do not

technique probably
not a problem
never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves

genuine question the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
try the thigh
rotate
do you use the insulin syringe for both drawing and injecting
is bruising more about the needle or the aftercare

how many sites are in your rotation
29G in 8mm or 12.7mm for abdomen
right so if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle
dont recap
thigh or abdomen, does absorption actually differ
a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call
