how to put the insulin without a drop.

hello
A month ago I was diagnosed with diabetes, I put quick and slow insulin.
By clicking the fast insulin, before meals, (today I begin to calculate the one that I have to inject) I always have an insulin drop in the needle.
I tell you the process that I follow: Agit the pen, keeping story up to 10.15, 20 ..., I take the needle from my body and the drop appears on the tip.A drop, drop.
What do I do badly?

Regardless of the droplet that is left, you should verify that insulin comes out before clicking you spending 2 units "in the air".Even more when you are injecting so few units (it is usual that there is air, both in the pen and logically in the body of the new needle, so you are possibly injecting less amount or even nothing).
Once proven, put the units that touch you and use the pinch technique.A needle turn when removing it helps eliminate that droplet.
