What Do You Suggest For Type 1 Diabetes With The Injection Of About 8 Units Of Air Instead Of Insulin?

I just injected myself with about 8 units of air instead of insulin... I am a healthy (other than having Type I Diabetes) 33 year old, who is active and well within the weight guidelines for my age/height (I don t know if any of that will matter, but figure it can t hurt to give you as much information as possible...)

Dear sir

I think you need not worry because air embolism can happen frequently when you inject it into veins or rarely intramuscular

but make sure from next time you inject it properly.

Thanks
