As a new member to injections, just wondering what size syringes are most of you using. Is it the 100ml or something else?

100 Ml, but would like to go to 50 because I use less than 10 units per injection. 29 1/2" gage. Would like to go to 30 but hard to find at Walmart.

28 guage 1/2" 100 ml but like above poster I would like smaller since I inject less than 10 units. Also use a Autoject el for injections.

fordman, Does your local Walmart sell syringes?
If so, mine has .50ml, 1/2", 29 gauge ones for around $12.50.

If you use a lot less than 30 units they have a 30 unit syringe. I use one with 30G 1/2" needle.

Since I only use 3 to 5 units of Trimix, I bought the 3/10 cc sized syringes from Diabetic Supply with a 30 ga., 1/2 in. needle. They are marked with single units so it is easier to figure out the low dose. The 1 ml syringes is marked in 2 unit increments.
