    Question reagarding insulin and insulin needles

    Hi,

    The insulin needles I have are ones where you can not unscrew the needle from the syringe, so my question is should I use the same needle to draw from the vial and also for my injection. I always like switching needles but I am not sure how to using insulin. Thanks.

    If you swab the vial prior to drawing you are fine to use it for injecting.

    I never thought you were suppose to draw and inject with the same needle, regardless of weather or not the vial is clean, but I guess you do with insulin needles. Thanks

    yes with slin needles the needle dosnt come off the syringe so you'll be injecting with the same needle used to draw
