    injecting test with a insulin need

    I have a friend who don't like the 22g1, he's thinking about using a insulin need to the delt, i know the test is hard to draw from the oil but is it possible? Help!

    It's possible. Warm it up and take your time.

    back load the slin pin and you can make it work as long as your "friend" doesnt have much fat in whatever area you hit. Remember it needs to get into the muscle. So i would use at least a 5/8 pin.

    Warming the test helps? Thanks didn't know that. How would you go about doing this exactly?

    Just soak the vial/ampoule in warm water to thin it out.

    Back loading a slin pin to pin quads takes all the pain out of the injection for me. Makes hitting pecs less pulp fiction as well. Just takes a long time to push it through. Which is a good thing. Other wise 23 ga anywhere else.

    Use 5/8 25g, a slin pin would take an hour/ml to push in lol

    cool tough guy. in 30 years from now we'll compare your scar tissue to the guys using 29g slins.

    I have no idea what is taking you guys so long with a slin pin. it pushes right through for me. I run it under hot water for a bit. But no matter where i stick it it flows nice and smooth.

    sling pin, 30g is SLOW to push and makes my thumb hurt. 27g is much better and easier but I would not try to draw through it. i draw with 22g. 25g works but it's slow. I typically pin with 25g but of course 27 is nice.

    i draw with 18g and back load the slin pin. really nice for delts, pecs, calves, etc. mine are 29g.
    oh and if it is hurting your thumb that means you are not working your thumb out enough...j/k...

    I'll often use a 29g 1/2" slin pin if I run out of standard syringes. It just requires more patience.

    I'll sub-q with with anywhere from a 27 to a 31 ga on occasion. It's slow but steady. 25 ga 1" everywhere else.

    LOL, true that. I need to do more thumb presses. I typically dont use an 18g when going through a rubber seal because it can easily tear off small pieces that then up as floaters or leave a hole big enough to leak if the vial is turned on it's side depending on the rubber seal material.
