[acb-diabetics] Insulin pen question

[Veronica Elsea]

Okay, let's see how I do at describing this. I'm asking this question 
for someone who isn't online and uses an insulin pen, not sure which 
brand. So here's the question. As she's had to increase her dosage, 
when she inserts the needle and then pushes the plunger or whatever 
you do, when she's finished, she's realizing that the needle is bent. 
I'm trying to imagine what she could be doing and am wondering if 
it's just that in the process of holding it there longer to account 
for the extra insulin, she's either pressing too hard or moving the 
pen. Not having played with the newer pens myself, how hard is it to 
hold them steady or straight when going in your abdomin? Thanks for 
any hints or thoughts any of you may have.
