    HCG and Slin Needles

    I know that HCG is typically administered with an insulin needle and can be done IM or subQ- I wouldnt think that using a slin needle would work well with IM injections though. IS there a certain spot that works well for this or do you have to use a normal 1'' pin for IM injections for HCG?

    Use waterever needle you use for the site. I use 1.25" for Glutes and 1" for everything else. 25G for 1" and 23G for 1.25".

    I now use Insulin needles for sub-q.
