seem same quality as bd and terumo-I got 29g half inch ones for subcut(previous ones were 27g)si went well so pleased with them,leaflet that came with order says that postage is free over £30

[Nackapan]

Brilliant. Thanks for letting us know.

[Nackapan]

I use 30G . I'm sure you will find an improvement with 29G

[Nackapan]

27-30G 1/2" or 5/8" " thick

I looked it up and also went by size used by diabetics.

31G used in insulin pens. But usually less fluid.

I asked at my surgery Gp didnt know and nurses said as not licensed unwilling to say

Originally Gp said nurses can do sc on me . But they not covered to do it.

[Nackapan]

I use 30G 1/2"

Thete is a chart to google

Needle size and body weight akso comes into it. I think more for IM to reach muscle though

[flosslechops]

its what you feel comfortable with-the thinner needles don't seem to sting as much-maybe psychological?

[Nackapan]

Google

size needles for subcutaneous Injections

Also body injection sites for sc or IM

Or

Im injections or

Subcutaneous injections

yes I started on insulin a few weeks ago and like the thinner needle(31g),the 29g is a pretty pink colour,I was looking at 30g(yellow) and it just came down to colour,daftI know!!

[flosslechops]

ordinary needles go up to 30g which is the thinnest gauge,31g is for insulin pens ,a very different type of needle ,29g is slightly thicker than 30 but not much in it,I found it quite comfortable

[Nackapan]

The highet the number the thinner the needle . With IM as longer do not go too thin as possible to break.
