update from 6 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped

U1

the needle went in fine but it stung going in, alcohol or the compound

a small air bubble subcutaneously is not dangerous. it costs you dose accuracy, thats the reason to clear it

U1

for the archive thigh or abdomen, does absorption actually differ

PF

right so if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle

U1

let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting"
the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small

mark it down

TT

absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound

drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
