I just changed from a pen to a syringe. Do you inject the air into the vile while holding it right side up (air into air) or upside down (air into insulin)?
Sounds dumb, but the nurse never explained it.

i know this is really bad for me to be asking but i honestly don’t know the answer! i have type one diabetes, i was diagnosed in december 2008 so it’s been a while since the doctor told me what happens when i don’t inject insulin in myself or i forget to do it.
i don’t wanna test it incase it’s something really dangerous. The doctor told me, i just forgot. lol. and what are the signs that i need more insulin? like, physical signs and effects.

The other day, my mom was not feeling well, and so she was not thinking clearly, and got distracted while preparing her insulin. She thinks she might have actually forgot to put any insulin into the syringe! But she had pulled the syringe back enough to allow the air in, so she would have injected just air into herself. Is this dangerous? What could happen?
