Question 4

Accepted Answer

You're fine, man: You're a 25 year old man. Every guy in the world has some unexplainable turn-ons that make no sense. Yours is tame, non-violent, and kind of sweet. Life's difficult enough without troubling yourself over your private thoughts. Embrace who you are.  Perhaps there's a special woman in your life that can role-play your fantasy. Resolve in any case to love wisely and responsibly.

Question 5

how long does insulin last in a syringe?

Accepted Answer

Look at the insert: Most Insulin syringe manufacturers discourage the practice of keeping Insulin for a prolonged period of time in the syringes specially with long acting analogs like lantus (insulin glargine).  I do tell my patients that it is ok for short acting insulins to be preloaded in a syringe if you are going out to eat but no longer than 2-3 hrs.

Question 6

Question 10

Yes: If the syringe is in the skin or muscle probably not.
If it is in a vein yes air can kill you. The volume of air would have to be more than a few cc,s so a bubble likely will have no harm .
The air will act like an embolus or clot traveling to the lungs
