I saw insulin leaking after my injection and got worried

I recently noticed a small amount of insulin leaking after an injection and started wondering whether I actually received the full dose.

It is hard to know what is normal and what might mean the injection technique needs to change. I am also curious how other people handle this situation when it happens.

For people who use insulin pens or syringes, have you experienced leakage after injecting? What helped you feel confident that your routine was working correctly?

I'm looking for practical experiences from people who have dealt with this.

The first time it happened, I immediately thought I had lost part of my dose. After learning more about injection technique, I felt less stressed when it happened.
