Sorry guys, I just want to double check that my technique of counting drops of insulin is correct and I can't find it anywhere but I'm sure I've seen it somewhere on FDMB.
If somebody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it very much.
Many thanks.
 
Hi Marlena

What is your technique exactly? I haven't tried micro dosing, but if you do a search here you'll find what seems to be a good suggestion from our friend Mogs: press the syringe plunger in as far as it will go and then release it while the needle is still in the insulin vial... It sips up a tiny drop. Sounds a good idea? Otherwise, I'm sure you'll find other ideas if you search here and elsewhere.

Good luck!

Thanks Diana.
I know about this one - it gets you 1 drop.
I'm talking about drawing some insulin to the first line (and by testing you know how many drops are in there - I tested 6 - 7) and then expelling 3 drops so what you have left is about 3 - 4 drops. I have read about it here some time ago but now I can't find it.
