Slin syringe and needle size question!

[latinsteel]

Is a .3cc x 29g a good size to use for Slin injections?

[latinsteel]

Ok thanks man!!!

[YellowJacket]

Me too!

.3cc? Wow, my pharmacy gave me 1cc syringe's, I assumed thats all they carry. Is a .3cc common? That would be much easier to measure with!

yes 29 ga 1/3 a cc per 30iu's is very common for slin users.
You must have gotton 28 ga 1cc pins, harder to get close measure you need when doing slin.

To much you could end up dead.

Both my 28 and 29g syringe's are 1cc..and yes, it is tricky to measure..every 2iu = 1mm or something stupid like that

common

damn, those 1/3 cc 29g are new to me as well.

Anyone know where they can be ordered online?

[DangerousGround]

I get all the time from friends whom are diabetics

I think I'll drop on email on www.researchkits.com and see if they can get some in.

Thanks,

If you think thats hard try using a 25g 3ml syringe to dose insulin.lol. Actualy I should probably say don't try it.

I agree just a few drops is needed impossible to accurate measure with 25ga 3 cc pin.

Impossible.

be very careful!

Espicially if your using long pins..the insulin in the needle and base of the neelde alone could cause some serious problems.
