Injection question.

[Steff]

Have just injected and withdrawn the needle and looked and i could not see no red dot like all the other times, does that mean i have not injected or is they not always a mark left?


Cheers

Can't say too much about diabetic injections, but if you have injections from nurse, a good nurse doesn't always leave a mark.

i find most of the time i don't have a mark 🙂

 

[Steff]

So it might mean by now that im getting so good im not leaving a mark anymore ?

 

[shiv]

[Steff]

Basically it means that you're getting good at it. It was always a mixed result for me when I was jabbing.

Hi Steff

I find that I don't usally get a mark but sometimes I do find a yellow bruise a few days later! I guess it depends on if you nick a tiny blood vessel or not.

As long as the arrow in the pen window appears (and it is sometimes off centre -again, don't worry) you have received your dose. Also you someitmes get a few drips of the fluid as you reset the pen after the shot- again, this is normal.

How are you getting on- sickness gone yet? xxx

I almost always draw a little blood, I can't be that good at it. Often have big bruises in my thigh's too xx

depends sometimes I leave a mark, generally not though and only occasionally blled when I've hit a capiliary. I will have a couple of attempts though if I feel it's going to hurt.
