[axiomatic6]

sub-Q. It's not designed for IM. insulin is the same. It is absorbed through your bodys fat under your skin. Do not use it IM unless there is a product out there that states to use it that way, but I never heard of it.

Some people shoot it IM so it's okay, but personally SQ is easier and painless.

I have kinda done both. I am pretty sure even with a slin pin if I push all the way in I am going into muscle. Which brings me to an interesting point...for sub q am i only supposed to push the pin in a tiny amount?

For Sub Q, do the following:

1: Wash your hand well, preferably with an anti-bacterial soap.
2: Prepare your pin with the inject of choice.
3: The best places for sub-q injections are usually ab domen, but not navel. (there are other places, but body builders would never get a flap of skin there. . .like top of thighs, outer parts of th upper arm)
4: Pinch about a 2 inch flap of skin between your thumb and fore-finger.
5: Cleanse the are with an alcohol swab or cotton ball soaked with alcohol then wait for the area to dry.
6: insert the needle at a 45 to 90 degree angle. I personall like about a 45 to 60.
7: Pull the plunger to check for blood.
8: If there is no blood, push the meds in slowly and steadily.
9: Just like any injection, rotate sites. On sub-q, you need to be at least an inch and a half away from the last sub-q injection site.

The needle doesnt need to be more than 5/8 of an inch, though you can use longer it you control the depth.

The only way to hit muscle on a sub-q shot is to blatently do it wrong. Pinching the skin is the key to a PROPER sub-q.
