I’m always nervous about where to give myself the needle. I’ve already made myself bleed once. I’m getting better as another Mayo Clinic poster told me about the dot chart. I find it very helpful.

My doctor had me inject the needle into my thigh which has worked out fine. Occasionally there will be a small bubble of blood that I simply wipe away. My friend who is a retired surgical nurse explained that this is caused by the needle going into a tiny capillary (not seen from the surface) and is not a problem.
