Seems like it will be hard to do, I am not there yet, just trying to prepare.

It is really quite hard to do. You need to try & get the tiniest bit of the edge of the syringe up into the bottle & tilt the bottle sideways to try & suck the last bit out. You will probably get a lot of air at first too, but, u can just adjust the syringe to get rid of it. It helps me. l do it quite a bit when l am at the end of the bottle.

Once a year l also ask my doctor if they have any bottles of insulin l can have. They usually give me about 6 or so to keep on hand. The pharmaceutical companies provide them with samples. It saves a lot of money too.

It is tough to do this and not get air at the same time. When l get all l can out of the bottle without the interference of air, l open a new bottle.
