Liquid after the puncture

Hello,

Etoy starting for the first time with insulin.

I see that at the moment it does not do me long, the endocrine has told me to upload units one by one.

The fact is that today when I injected I have realized that I had liquid in the puncture area, can it be that it is not injecting it correctly and that is why it does nothing to me?

Greetings,

You have to wait 10 seconds before taking out the needle, do you do it?(There are those who say 6, but come on, wait a little)

Anyway, how many units do you put on?
I think I remember that you started by one or two and so little is not going to do anything to you

Indeed, they sent me to start with one and nothing at all, I asked the endocrine and told me that it was climbing one in one but it is that I notice absolutely anything, and when I see the liquid when I have taken the needle because I thought I stillI am not injecting it well

What kind of insulin are you talking about?Basal or fast in meals?
If it is basal, you will not see any effect.And that of climbing like this because, without the counting of rations ..... it is not very normal.

On the other hand, sometimes, when you inject some droplet, so you have to wait between 6 and 10 seconds to remove the needle.

It is toujeo insulin, what is basal, right?But you say that I will not notice any effect, I do not understand.It is supposed to get the glucose, right?I mean if I get up between 160-180, it is assumed that if I put insulin, it is for me to get off, right?Or what is it for but?

It refers to quantity.Less than 6/7 is nothing.I don't think there is anyone in the forum to get less about that.1 or 2 units are for babies.I don't know what he thinks, but you'll see, until you get 6/8 you will not notice anything.

What the doctor has told you seems correct.You have put 1 and do not notice improvement, you go up another day to 2, to 3, so until you see that you get up with acceptable values.
Diabetes have to be very patient and adjust, readjust, mismatch ...
I have not been the same for two weeks.Anything mandates the basal dose: that if the temperature drops, that if I take a cold, it happens to me, I take another cold, madness.I have varied from 9 that put me as a toujeo in summer to 16 by a brutal cold, to 12 when it happened to me, again with the next ...
My educator says that when he observes three days with high values, the dose rises and yet the first day that lifts me with low value.

Well, tomorrow I will put myself 3, to the next 4 ... until I get off.I guess I have to get below 100. I will miss a lot because I still get up to 160.
Thanks for helping me again 😃

Endocrine should calculate the dose depending on your weight and height.There are formulas for it.With what he told you, he shows that he is not very there.

The normal thing is 0.55x weight in kg is your need for total insulin (rapid+ slow) that the basal is 40-50% of the total total of
Link
With that consultation salts, plus the pattern of going up every 3 days if the values ​​when you get up are high or vice versa.

With 1 or 2 units, you will not notice any effect.
What I do not understand is because it puts insulin insolving instead of metformin.A lada with diet and exercise does not get normoglycemia, from the day of the debut they send you basal insulin because we do not generate it and have been a year with nothing.Have you tested positive for antibodies?

But something is still in the pancreas, so I suppose that it cannot be the same amount of insulin.And I've been, not one for almost two years.I debuted in February 2021

It took a few months to give me the diagnosis PQ doubted what type of diabetes I had, but in August they decided that it was lada and would end up being type 1

It is important to ensure that you are injecting insulin correctly to obtain the maximum benefit of treatment.Some possible reasons why there could be liquid in the puncture area after injecting insulin are:

The syringe was not well full: make sure that the syringe is well full before injecting insulin.

The needle was not completely inserted: be sure to insert the needle completely into the skin before injecting the insulin.

The needle was clogged: if the needle is clogged, the entire insulin may not come out.Remove the needle and put it back to make sure you are clear.

The skin was not tense enough: tensing the skin can help the needle between correctly and prevent insulin from escaping.

Insulin was too cold or too hot: insulin should be at room temperature to be easier to inject.Do not use insulin that has been stored in the freezer or that has been exposed to very high temperatures.

If you still have problems with insulin injection, it is important that you talk to your doctor or nurse to get help and make sure you are administering insulin correctly.

In my case if I sometimes have liquid around.But it is due to purge the needle.If for example, you purge the needle with a couple of units you will see that in the end you have a drop on the tip.Then load the units you need and you are if they will enter without problem.
