    yes you shoot it IM with a insulin pin 29g just shoot it in place were the skin/fat layer is the thinnest, for me thats biceps. this way i know that i can go deep in the muscle with the pin.

    Agreed :-).

    I dont like the idea of Sub-q, it leaves you unclear of onset times. IMO IM is the safest way of administration. That way you can time your meals properly to avoid any sides.
