? Droplet of insulin on skin after injection

[Misterbeesmom]

hi all

I've been having a weird problem lately. Sometimes at the end of an injection, one or two small droplets of insulin bead up on the surface of the injection site. Its not like all the insulin goes in and then some comes back out, its more like i'm trying to put more fluid into a space than it can take, so it just doesnt all go in. I hope thats clear. I do the tenting thing and often dont have a problem. I cannot see a pattern when this happens.

Anyone have this trouble? Its a bit of a mystery to me. I dont like it because he's not getting his full shot, and there's no way i can predict if its going to happen or not.

That is not really unexpected. To reduce/eliminate leave the needle inserted for 5 seconds after fully depressing the plunger
