Hello everyone
A newbie with IC, looking for some guidance.
Those here who have been injecting for sometime...what are pro and cons with autoinjectors.
Thanks

Auto Injector- Quicker, once set up
- Consistent depth (regardless of location)
- Helps remove needle fear from the equation
- Reduces the opportunity for fumbling
- Probably more practical for non-scheduled events (dating new partners or bar pickups, etc.)
- Works very well for some users
Manual- Allows more user control
- Allows for controlled plunger pressing
- Gives the ability to "feel" plunger resistance
- Gives the option to adjust depth before pushing the meds in
- Allows more precise placement of injection site which aids in avoiding veins
Probably more for each.
