The best price on the needles is $51.99 at CVS. Double what I last paid. Hydrate before the injection. You might have a salty snack. I take 250mg of calcium a couple of hours before.
You'll experience vasodilation minutes after the injection. So be careful. Your balance might be a little off.
You don't need to pinch your skin with these needles, but if you do and then let go before injecting, you'll be less likely to bruise.
I hope you have good luck

I didn't realize that a box of pen needles were so expensive ($51.99). (I get my 100-count box through my HMO's pharmacy for around three dollars.)
I did see one can get BD ultra-fine pen short needles (31g x 8mm), which I use, for less than $30 a box through diabetes suppliers and Amazon. (Lilly Answer Center told me the BD pens were part of the Forteo clinical trial protocol decades ago.)
