What's your Favorite Sub Q Syringe ?
-
Gluco-care 33g+ from Amazon, although these days I've gotten so used to needles that pm anything 30g+ seem to do the trick. Even the cheap aliexpress ones.
Depending on injection site, prefer 4mm if using a syringe and 4-6mm if using a pen.
Pens seem to leak more after removing from skin tho so sticking to syringes looks like the way to go@Foodstampede said in What's your Favorite Sub Q Syringe ?:

What is the philosophy/consensus around syringes lengths, and when to use shorter vs longer needle? Would you choose a different length depending on the amount of units you are injecting, say a small 15 units, vs a larger 35-40 units?
I recently picked up some 4mm needles and have been enjoying them, but did get a large bruise in the lower stomach after one injection of MOTS-C, 20 units if I recall.

Agreed. I asked because I thought I was doing something wrong. I do love the autopens though.

I did just see the needleless injections tho online. Idk how good they are tho. Has anyone tried them out?

I had that needless injector years ago. It is a pain. You have to buy special cartridges and loading needles. It gets expensive quick. It basically shot the stuff sub-Q through force. I used it for MT2 back in the day. Used it for about 2 weeks than threw everything a way

Hello ! I'm an old lady (70) trying to get rat in shape. A complete newbie at this and have to learn DIY; never reconstituted a thing in my life; be kind to me. Avoiding pens and other automatics for now bc I don't know anything about them. Sent 29G Sure Comfort w/NAD+ which seems too small, IDK. Have the 31G EZ Touch sent w/Tirzep and they're great, but am going to try Clever Choice 30 because of price. Wish me well and TY all for the great info & to PC for this wonderful site!!!
