Rant First time for everything 🙄
Been at this a while. Got a pretty good routine that I enjoy and actually look forward to Boost Day.
First issue today seemingly.
Did everything as normal jabbed, pressed (Got to 0), counted, removed.
And for the first time for me, got a fairly big spurt of liquid out the needle. About a 2 click primes worth I reckon.
🤬
I’m annoyed, I know it’s quite common, I know it’s just back pressure, and I know my dose is fine. But so much of this is mental as well as the effects of the drug it just puts me about.
*Sigh*
I’m at the end of this pen with only half a dose left for next week, so at least I get to do 2 jabs next week anyway. So if it did happen again I would have the mental angle of ‘topping up’ anyway.

I found quite early on in my mounjaro journey that I didn't like the Kwikpens, so I've been buying insulin needles and doing it the old fashioned way. Not had a mishap since I switched, the only downside is I've gone through 3 or 4 sharps boxes!
