coming back after 5 months, has the pinned technique guide changed

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

welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it

warm it first

thats normal

45 degrees

let it dry

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

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

push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards

absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound, ask me again in a month
