The short version

Seven steps. Two minutes.

  1. Wash your hands.Lay out the vial, an insulin syringe, two alcohol pads, and a sharps container or thick plastic bottle.
  2. Wipe the vial top with alcohol.Let it air dry for a few seconds. Don't blow on it.
  3. Pull plunger to your dose.Your first shot is 10 units. Push the needle through the rubber top, push that air in.
  4. Flip the vial, draw your dose.Pull the plunger slowly to your unit mark. Tap out air bubbles, push them back in, draw again if needed.
  5. Pick your spot.Belly (two inches from the navel), front of thigh, or back of upper arm. Wipe with alcohol, let it dry. Rotate weekly.
  6. Pinch, insert, push slow.Pinch up an inch of skin. Needle straight in at 90 degrees, all the way to the hub. Push the plunger slowly. Count to five.
  7. Out. Sharps. Done.Pull straight out, drop the syringe in your sharps container. Don't rub the spot — press lightly if it bleeds. Vial back in the fridge.
