Use draw with big one then pull plunger fill up small one..

I was using 30g insulin pins and even drawing up 1/2 a cc didn't take much longer than two minutes or so. Definitely worth the extra time IMO since they're pretty much completely painless.

think i have completcated things



i bought insulin pins 27 ones 1/2ml i want to inject with them as had enough or big pins and syringes etc.....


can i just stick insulin pin straight in vial draw up then shoot with it etc.....?


or do i use a normal syringe to draw from vial take of the draw needle take my insulin pin and put in to syringe and draw up what i need then shoot?

I use the insulin pin to draw and shoot. It's slow, but no waste between syringes. I inject into delts and sides of outer glutes.

i broke an insulin needle off in my leg two yrs ago injecting test p for trt. spent 5 hrs in an e.r. with a realtime x-ray machine looking into my left upper leg and having two nurses try and find it with some tweezers, it eventually worked its way to my leg bone. they numbed it up with some lidocane and epinephrine shots, then called the doctor in to try and fish it out, he got it out in 20 minutes... moral of the story, i now inject with the same insulin needle in my leg but now i only do sub q shots. and my levels stay the same.

I use half inject in shoulder 29 gauge 2 times a week. Works like a charm and has been for the past 5 years.

I use a 21g to load then switch the needle to a BD PrecisionGlide 27G x 1/2 to shoot. I do mine in the outer part of my quads since there is no fat there and the 1/2" is fine for my typical .35 to .45ml injection.

If you are concerned about wasting a little T when switching needles, after you load, pull back on the plunger a little to clear the Test from the 21g needle base - then you wont waste any.

I tried a 28g insulin pin to load and shoot and found that it was a little painful while the setup above works great. I assume it was dull from going through the stopper.

I've been using 27 and 28 gauge insulin syringes with great results. Started out injecting in thighs and delts. Thigh injections are kinda painful for me, so I started using pecs as a new injection site. Delts and pecs are the best injections sites for insulin syringes IMO.

No need to switch out syringes. I inject with the same syringe I use to draw with and have had no issues. The only benefit from switching syringes is that the new one will be a little sharper and penetrate skin easier. This is really a non-issue when using small gauge syringes.

BTW, I inject 25 units of 200 mg/mL, which is 50 mg, twice a week. I wouldn't recommend injecting more than 50 units or .5 ml at a time with insulin syringes.

test shots are ment for IM (in muscle) insulin pins are NOT a good pick. drop the ide on it already.
ify ou want a smalle rpin get a 25g 1-1.5' long. draw with a 22-23g and then pin with 25g if you must.

Dang, drawing and pinning 1-1.5ml with a slin would take forever!!
