Any pre-injection tips for Tymlos?

@bluebonnet242 I have a kid with type 1 diabetes so before Tymlos I had had decades of experience doing shots, unfortunately. I always inject in fat, so yes, I pinch some up. Then I try to avoid squeezing the medicine out/causing leakage, so I let go as I inject. Literally while I inject. Every once in awhile I hit a little capillary and have a slight bruise but pretty rare and not a problem.

I didn't keep track of where I injected to be honest- not on paper anyway. It was easy to tell just by looking at my tummy. The theory is that you want to avoid creating scar tissue, which can interfere with absorption, but personally I did not find one shot a day, with clearly visible marks on tummy where injections happened, to be much of a risk for scar tissue. Others may have had a different experience.
