One trick is to put the needle under the skin at an angle to the skin a little ways, rather than just straight in perpendicularly. Then inject before drawing back. The effect will be that you've deposited your insulin under the skin a ways, and not directly under your injection site, so it's less likely to leak out.<br><b>References : </b><br>I've had that problem.

(press & pull). When you let go after you've injected the insulin unpunctured skin will move over the the site preventing leakage. do not give yourself another shot. You could have a hypoglycemic event.<br><b>References : </b><br> pull your skin away from the injection site before giving yourself the injection by placing your finger above the intended site, press down firmly and move the skin away.
