Well I have a question and this is my situation. Well I do all my injections intravenously but here's the thing: I just bought a new 10 pack of sharps when I noticed something. For the hell of it I started reading the instructions on the back for filling the insulin needles inside with the insulin people are supposed to be given. It said you're supposed to pinch the skin and all to get the needle into a fat layer underneath. But before this it said you have to fill it with an equal amount of air to the amount of insulin you fill it with I.e. 30 units of air 30 units of insulin. I believe the injection technique it's describing is what ppl on the street call skin popping. So does this mean allllll skin popped or s.c administered injections have to have this ratio of air to fluid added??? Or is this something specific to insulin??? I've skin popped when I'm desperate and it's always really hurt but now I'm extremely curious to purposely skin pop some shit I grab later and do this method of using air to drug solution 1 to 1 ratio. This is mind boggling and I'm blown away I didn't notice this prior. Again, is it JUST insulin when skin popped that has to have equal air volume to solution????
