Just curious to know what other people use for their injection methods! I do subq and recently had to reduce my draw needle gauge to 21 since I kept coring vials accidentally.

suq in the belly once a week

I make little baggies so I have all the supplies for a single injection together.

In the baggies go:

  • a 1 mL leur lock syringes, preferably with reduced deadspace for less medication waste
  • a 21 G (green) 1 inch needles for drawing
  • a 27 G (grey) half inch needles for injecting
  • an alcohol swab to sanitize the vials and the injection site
  • a bandaid for when there is bleeding (I like the Hello Kitty ones)

Basically same setup here except 25G injection needle, nice!
