Lately I have been coming across an issue getting the syringe in the skin. I read the post about how to give the insulin and making sure the bevel is facing up and all that. I dont want to just jab it in his skin but why wont it just go in?? lol
 
Funny you should say this... I have had several needles in a row now that were more difficult to push through the skin than needles in the past. I just push a little harder to get them in, but it does concern me. I do not want them to hurt Mia any more than absolutely necessary. What brand of syringes are you using? Mine are UltiCare. I have used them for awhile, but this problem is new. I have a box of a different brand. I do not like the markings on those, but I think I will try them to see if the needles seem better.
