Hi everyone, my daughter is thinking of using 4mm needles to sc inject her vitamin B as she see’s me doing that with insulin with no need to to pinch the skin. Does anyone on here do that please.

Like I've said I do subcutaneous b12 injections.

If your needkrs ate for a oen used for insulin . Without the pen the gauge is slightly higher.

My husband uses an insulin oen with 31G

I use a syringe and needle size 30G

You can use 27-30g for sc b12.

I do not know the metric conversion

I use 1/2 " length

Many do do sc but most do IM
