Basal insulin badly placed
Good morning!
Today half asleep (in my thigh) I have put on the slow and as soon as I squeeze the ball, the needle has come out, I do not know how much I could inject but I have seen quite out of my skin (I could not say how much).
Just in case I have punctured 2ud more, because something has come out.
Has it ever happened to you?
I imagine that today I will spend a high day and I will have to correct, but I did not dare to put more .....
Thank you!
@Cassie, see quickly ... If you spend the very high day, you can put a little more slow at night .., better to get a little high than pass with insulin.You have done well.

@Regina .... Thank you!I have already served today's scare .... In this you have to put the 5 senses.
It happened to me many times with the fast, in my arms I get the needle.(According to the nurse of the Covid vaccine I have very hard skin) I go from bruises and wounds.
In those cases it is better not to do anything and pull quickly to rectify.
I put the basal on the buttocks, so the bruises are not seen and the skin is soft.It also hurts less than in the legs.

Uso Toujeo y Novorapid.
@Ruthbia is that I got a little scared because how it was to lower the plunger and left, I thought that perhaps nothing had entered, but when I took 2 units outside the skin and see the amount that I had deposited I realized that it wasApproximately what had come out ... I usually put it on the culete, but sometimes I am lying like today, the side of the thigh is better.
Seeing the levels I am, I think I have succeeded quite ... to see how I continue ... but tomorrow at 8'00 arranged!hahaha
