[QUOTE="madman, post: 71480, member: 13851"] Yes majority of the time after injecting you will always get a spec of oil dribble from the tip of the needle if you hold it too good lighting and watch as you press hard on the plunger but the amount is minimal that is in the needle tip especially with an insulin syringe which are low dead space and realistically your true injection volume is measured from the line at the starting point of the barrel to what dosage line your injection volume is. When you are loading your syringe that little bit of test that will always be in the needle tip regardless of pushing or pulling is not accounted for in your true dose and is considered waste and their is much less waste with a low dead space syringe. Only way to avoid loosing that little extra drop is like you said by pushing EXTRA HARD on the plunger at the end but at the expense of usually causing suction and a mild vacuum effect making your chances of bleeding greater. Trust me it took a little while to catch on as I used to always push hard on the plunger and would notice more blood so one day I held up my syringe too the light and watched what effect it had on the plunger by pushing hard and pushing slow easing up on plunger and applying the lightest pressure to let it just glide slowly to the end of barrel and to my amazement voila no suction/vacuum effect hence no blood after injection or a small tiny spec. After your next injection pull out your syringe and hold it up to good lighting and watch the plunger as you push hard hitting the barrel end and keep pushing in and out and you will see the suction/vacuum effect it causes. Than try it again pull back then push slow and as you reach the barrel end ease up very slowly and let the plunger glide and come to a smooth stop without applying pressure and as soon as you feel it stop you will notice their is no push back or suction with the plunger. Takes some practice to get the feel when you are injecting the oil as oppose to an empty syringe but makes a huge difference! [/QUOTE]
