Wipe the stopper of vial and injection site with an alcohol prep pad. Draw air up to the amount your going to inject, then inject that air into the vial. Then turn the vial upside down, and slowly pull the stopper back to where you pulled it back earlier, wait for it to fill with the solution. Pinch the skin where you’ll inject. Insert at a roughly 45 degree angle. Slowly push stopper down, voila.
You don’t have to get this right 100% the first time either. I didn’t use the wipes for my first couple injections. Failing to inject the air will cause problems if you make a habit of doing that but it’s not the end of the world.
also what angle? 😭
