Whether 31g is thin enough for someone sensitive to needles
Still openAny reliable source for true 32g insulin syringes in 1 ml
Nothing here is advice.
I've been using 31g ones. No complaints.
Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way after trying to order them online. The points must have been blunted somehow. These days I stick with the half and single milliliter sizes instead. They cause me zero trouble, though my spouse runs into problems every time.
Back then I figured tough spots made needle entry simpler on the skin. Gradually I've seen certain stomach regions now resist the thin gauge more than before, whether other zones got checked?
Those particular syringes aren't available for delivery from the online site if you're located in Florida, I adjusted the statement for you. Every one of mine comes from the online site. It turned out they wouldn't deliver any to Nevada either when heading out to see my children this week. So I mailed them the usual way inside a package with the courier service.
I've been injecting without being able to spot the prior spots easily. Marking those areas with a red X would make it simpler to avoid repeats. I meant the finer thirty two gauge versions from solid makers rather than lower quality thirty one gauge options. I've already tried the cheaper versions and moved on. Four hundred of the thirty one gauge in both half milliliter and full milliliter sizes sit here split evenly though plenty have seen use already. They don't seem available around here so thirty one gauge it is. The even finer thirty two gauge versions are said to flex too much. I once struggled with a tough septum on one vial during a mix. Good thing this only involved reconstitution and filtering. A wider twenty three gauge needle added the bacteriostatic water while a longer version drew it back out. Even with a direct center hit force was still needed. Inserting a slim diabetic syringe into that without filtering would wreck the tip on my thirty one gauge so no thanks. I'll keep going with the stock already on hand.
Thinking about this, piercing the cap with a needle makes its tip lose sharpness quickly. Switching over to a luer lock setup lets you pull the liquid using whatever needle works best, and then switch to a brand new sharp one for the actual shot. The issue then becomes locating those narrow luer lock needles since they aren't common. After hunting around quite a bit I managed to track some down. It looks like these are mostly made for shots into the muscle. Can't recall the exact spot where I got hold of mine.
I steer clear of those injector tips for pens. Nothing to stress over here.
Sorry for the holdup. I've spent ages searching but still can't come across the 32s in any place.
Everything's okay on my end. Those particular makers don't offer the items I'm after. Thirty one gauge is acceptable to me. My partner usually manages fine. After about a month I'll move her onto a new one, meaning daily shots of one or two milligrams.
Totally relate here. My spouse enjoys tirz and craves the liquid form yet truly despises needles. Giving her the shot turns into quite an ordeal resembling tooth extraction.
I have trouble spotting any distinction when comparing these to the alternatives. The sensation during the shot seems to change based on exactly where it's done. A tiny shift in position appears to affect it, and there's no way to know in advance how it will turn out.
Definition of a peptide junkie: Someone who spends thousands of dollars buying a decade's worth of stuff. And trying to save 2 cents on syringes. Guilty!
I admit it. Trying to recall the spot where I left that BAC item made with toilet water.
Yeah that kind of water from the john holds zero appeal unless it got some kind of handling beforehand.
Using bacteria from the bowl trained my system to handle microbes from anywhere.
When ease matters most to me, nothing matches a pen setup over a regular syringe. Absolutely not. Weekly shots might work fine with just the needle, yet for anything requiring several injections each week, switching to a pen device makes a lot of sense. Plus, needles come in every size and thickness from all makers since so many people who inject daily, especially those with diabetes, rely on these pens.
