Do you switch needles after you draw to pin?

[frawnz]

i've tried both and definately feel a difference

I've tried both as well and didn't notice any change. This was with sub-q insulin needle injections tho... although I would think the smaller needles would be more affected by "dulling" than a larger, thicker needle. I haven't tried it with IM AAS injections tho, as I switch from 18g to 25g for that so it's not even an option.

Switching from larger to smaller is the only way to go.

I don't think I could make myself do an 18g injection unless it was an extreme emergency like sarin/mustard gas.
