How do you do the pinch to click

Hello everyone,

I present myself briefly ... my name is Oscar and I debuted in 2019 with Lada, at the age of 43 ... The truth is that I have a very good control (my last glycosilada was 5.8) and for the moment I am working withLantus, diet and exercise ...

I have a question ... The other day, I downloaded a book on diabetes of the Ministry of Health and in the section where I talked about how to manage insulin, he said that the pinch before pricking should be wide, that is, that grip a lot of skin...

I usually grab little skin, why in areas such as legs, for example, I find it almost impossible to grab a lot ... I would say that it works as I do but I wanted to know how you do it ... you grab a lot or little skin, or is it not so important?

Thank you so much!!

In the calves he punctured me as without pinching, in the belly if he pinched.

The important thing is that insulin is supplied correctly and does not hurt.While these conditions are met, you can do it as you want.

PS: To meet the second condition, I always have to pinch, although I do not look so much on how I do it, but in a way in which I know it will not hurt 😉

Last week I had an appointment for change of treatment and they educated me again on the subject of punctures.

The pinch must be small, since if it is big you run the risk of puncturing in muscle and we must avoid this.
