Hi,

I use a 30mm 23G needle for IM injections into my thigh.

I only SI in between my official B12 jabs, every 8 weeks, so I didn't feel the need to buy 100's of needles and syringes.

Instead, I bought an Essential 10 pack from Exchange Supplies. It has almost everything I need, needles, syringes, sharps box and wipes, with free delivery for around £5.

I had to add additional needles for drawing up but Exchange Supplies were kind enough to include them within the free postage.

Here is a link to the kit exchangesupplies.org/shopdi...

I use Medisave (Weymouth- based) and order : 100 BD microlance 3 green needles 21g x 1.5" - for drawing up B12 from phial

(this blunts tip on glass bottom, so not then used for injecting)

100 BD microlance 3 blue needles 23g x 1.25" - for the injection itself

100 BD emerald hypodermic luer slip concentric 2ml syringes - easier to use 2ml for 1ml liquid (plenty of room to draw it all up)

Also sharps bin when required, spot plasters and pre-injection swabs (not everyone uses these now)
