6mm needle puncture technique

Hello chic@s

I have a doubt after investigating the network, I have 6mm 32g PIC needles, my partner uses BD 5mm 31g.

One day I tried one of his and the truth that I did not notice, the BDs are a bit shorter but also thicker.

In all sites he says that to prevent them from penetrating in the muscle from 6mm apply at oblique angle, but I understand that pinched in cule gut, hip is not needed 45 degrees right?

In the arm if I ske

Greetings and thanks;)

They are click on vertical, I used 8mm but now they have prohibited them.
I have never punctured in veins or muscles, they say that you just have to pass 2mm to reach the absorption zone .... I think that I do not always arrive and sometimes I have to rectify the 30min because I go for 250 andWith rise arrow, with those of 8mm I never happened to me.

Well, tonight I have had to go for a walk at the midnight which werewolf, because one who is a little sneaky from the bolus ... prefers to walk to click comfortably at home: D

Next week blood analysis ... Let's see if I get up well with sugar and I don't get there doing hypoglycemia ... fear gives me.

By the way I have learned the recommendation to purge the needle before each puncture, from now on another habit that I put in my routine ... Let's see if he avoided these glycemic polytergeist ... thanks for replying for

You always have to purge;Read insulin instructions.He says you have to purge with 2 Novorapid units and wait 6 seconds before removing the pen from the skin.
In Toujeo it puts that it is purged with 3 units and also recommends 6 seconds.

For the analysis, when you arrive say that you are diabetic and they sneak, it is the only advantage to squeeze what we have 😁;That and that no life insurance loves us, so it is fast when they bother with calls commercials.

Thanks again.The other day they asked me if I wanted to donate blood and when I was told that I was diabetic they told me that I couldn't.

For my way I am I tell everyone that I am diabetic, reading for the forum I see that there are many people who have some suspicion, fear of rejection or aversion to people knowing their pathology, hide the sensor, they are clickingIn hidden in the restaurants, I respect it but I just have the opposite point of view, I care about a pepper that others think, and the only thing that hides those reactions is ignorance, so I illuminated them: D

I have realized that there are people who sometimes look at me with condescension when I comment, I almost give me condolences when I tell them that I shed, but I do not feel with any kind of stigma or work.

I try to explain to the maximum how it works is disease to free them from prejudices and that being controlled, it does not have to give problems, just almost everyone tells me that a relative with diabetes has and that when they have had scares .. especially loss vision, fingers of fingers, fingers ofThe feet ... they have taken it more seriously, I think there is the problem of the conception of this chronic disease.

In the opposite case I found a lady that her sister has diabetes 30 years ago and now she is 90

Every day I see obese people sitting on the terraces taking their drinks of alcohol and parapeted after the dense clouds of their cigars, cigarettes, they may not have diabetes but I am clear that health will not walk very fine, life is a career ofBackground, so it is better to prevent and take care of yourself.

I certainly want to live many years although that entails some little sacrifice, I respect the opinion of people who want to enjoy their lives in another way and do not care about the consequences of their actions, each one lives their life as they please.

.

Indeed you have to respect all points of view, as I say in my comment.

You are wrong with the save me, at least in my case.

I do not like to be the center of attention, for some it is therapeutic to speak and share experiences.

Here in the forum or in real life, I have already said each one who does with his life whatever he wants, he would lack more, such as expressing the point of view with education and respect.

I see that you have had some disagreement in the forum, but with me little margin you are going to have, not fierce food or sterile controversies I will be chronic sick but I have the brain 100*100 functional.

Be careful with rescue ...> :)

I already see, I don't bother to investigate what you say

I have corrected it, err is wise.
It must be why this tomorrow I have been disinfected with the bathrooms and has reduced me the reading and cognitive understanding ... and I no longer answer you, I let you have the last word if you want .. although I suppose that as you will not like to beYou will let the center for being.
Greetings friend, take care of yours

The Pic needles for me are the most bad I've had.The BD, the best.I use those that give me in the ambulatory.
I like 5mm.
The best oblique needle and you always have to purge and try not to have bubbles.

Well better oblique, that's how they told me.

I had never heard about the oblique needle, I have always punctured in vertical 🙄
@Ruthbia happened to me at the beginning also that I had an effect later insulin with the new needles but today, they are doing very well.

I've always done it like this @nigiri, but it seems that I have been doing bad years:/

I oblique only the heparin needle, they told me when I debuted (the diabetological nurse, who was very exaggerated and alarmist) that always vertical.

I already work for me, @nigiri, and better the BD, now they give us verifine and neither such evil, the very bad pic @anaisabel, totally agree.

It seems incredible that they would not tell you about purging the needle.Sometimes I have to purge it twice because the first does not come out and the little drizzle comes out to the second.They didn't explain almost anything, but yes.

I had read a long time ago about the PICs that were very bad, when my partner debuted, I told him that I was lucky that the SS gave him the 5mm BD, so when I received my pic, it didn't make me very funny, but well they are the ones that give meIn the equalizer, I understand that being private they throw the cheapest to reduce costs, for the moment they go well, they may have improved over time, at least I want to think.

I believe that this sensor that I have now, measures something above the capillaries, usually when they give me hypoglycemia at night I usually wait a few minutes, there are times that in 5 minutes I will be ok again miraculous.

Today I have risen with a bad body and all day dizzy, I understand that it will have been for a long time at the low night, I would calibrate it with the capillaries, but if in hypoglycemia I also have to make three capillaries for an hour, I do not know ifI'm going to fade: P

I have to download the basal again (7 units), I don't know if it will be metabolism or sensor ... I also happen to you that when I am about to get out of bed I can be 70 and peak and as soon as II get up at 5 minutes, I'm almost 20 above.

Today I made a capillary and the difference was not much 10-15 but of course I blame about being ground today that perhaps instead of being at night in 70 and peak I have been around 60.

The endocrine told me to change the alarm that upload it to 75, well I change it, but if I leave it in those values ​​I would be whistling all night, so I changed it again, you at night how much you have putThe low glucose alarm.

So far I have not had the need to calibrate the sensor with capillaries, because it was quite even with the glucometer but I still try to see.

Greetings for all

The same as being from the equalizer ,,, I have only had consultations with the endocrine, no diabetic education with nurses, although I remember that when I accompanied my partner with the ss nurses some were elaborate even to calculate the food rations and calculateThe hydrates ...
Everything I have learned has been in the forum and online.

Regarding the night hypos I do not know if you have read (we have commented a lot here) that many are not real.They occur when the sensor sleeping, the liquid and hypo brand does not get well.As soon as you change posture and release it, raise the value.
And yes, it is getting out of bed and the values ​​upload.It is seen that the body will be prepared for the activity of the day and the liver secretes glucose.
I have the alarm in 70. Nothing happens to me to be 60, I'm fine.In fact it caught my attention that my sister-in-law was pregnant, they put a range of 60-130.But for example my brother puts it to 80. It depends on each one.

Thank you for answering, yes, the crushing had read it, but for the moment I change the position sensor but not of the arm.I am a maniac to sleep, in principle I always fall asleep on the other side to not support in a sensor, but of course in Morpheus's arms you will know what I slept😆 ... I would have to record at night.

It does not sound like me lately, but if I put the alarm in 75 it would be sounding a lot of time because when I look at the values ​​in Diabox in the morning I am many times between 70-75.

Of course there are days that sounds like me, then it sounds like my partner ... Boooo that noceche ..

@Madmax I put the alarm to 75, and if I always sound to me in capillary, it is usually always by crushing the sensor.I do not usually have nocturnal drops since I put the basal at 8'00 in the morning ... that every 15 days you have to rotate the sensor's arm, that is what Abbott recommends, and I suppose that some reason will be for it, although I do not know ...
I also usually sleep on the same side but you end up getting used to everything (a trick is to put the sensor a little more "out of the arm I like to sleep in case I turn unconsciously that I do not chafe so much)
