What Will Happen If The Injection Needle Got Stuck Into My Finger?
I was going to inject my dog w/novolin n 5 units. He moved and I stuck needle into my finger. Don't know if I got any insulin into my system. I took a teaspoon of karo syrup, drank reg pepsi and ate 3 cookies. I am not diabetic. Just started doing dog's injections last week and am not experienced.

thank you for your question...
well there is nothing to worry regarding the insulin going into your system...furthermore, you did not have any symptoms and you being a non-diabetic, it wont cause you any problem what so ever...
however, was the needle a sterile one??..otherwise you have very mild risks of developing some diseases which are generally transmitted via blood...
and be careful from the next time onwards...
hope this is helpful....
