Oh no. I hope you weren't home alone and had help with the mess.
An age-old question:
Ironically
I have been using fine point needle syringes. I think the injectable pens won't have the problem of tough sub-cutaneous resistance. The pen injects automatically rather than having me find a place to insert a needle.

He has "determined" that since I wear glasses and live alone I qualify for the injectable insulin pen. Hallelujah. His first recommendations to me were to use my upper thigh, the back of my arms and/or my buttocks. While I could do the latter, the back of the arms would be a bit awkward. The injectable pen will work in all locations with me simply pressing a button (or something akin to a button).I was half expecting and hoping the doctor would qualify you for the injectable pen. I think you will be much happier using it.For two years I gave myself injection of Forteo for my bones. I alternated various location on my stomach and my thighs. I never had to worry about using the same location more than once. I find that it is an issue with your injections a bit disconcerting.

I hope you weren't home alone and had help with the mess.I was home alone, and not only that, but on phones for work, so there was nothing I could do. I secretly thought that if the water went into the apartment of the neighbor below, perhaps that would give the matter more urgency.
I decided I like the spacing mistake - so I left it. Covers approved, book to printers on Monday.
My Birding Buddy and I went out today. A perfect Arizona day. Nice wildflowers.

Hope you have the same luck with them!
