Insulin needles & syringes

February 4, 2009 by Andy

What kind of insulin syringes are there?

There are several brands of disposable syringes and several different sizes and lengths. You’ll see that the needles have a "gauge" specified. This is the size of the needle - the larger the gauge, the thinner the needle.

You will also find that different syringes are used depending on the concentration of the insulin. e.g. U-100 insulin as 100 units of insulin per cc of injectible fluid. If you use U-100 insulin, you should be using a U-100 syringe.

Insulin syringes should only be used once, and never shared with anyone else. Once used, the syringe should be disposed of in a "sharps" container. These are metal or glass containers that prevent the needles sticking through as this would obviously pose a hazard.

You probably have a favorite brand of syringe for your insulin, and our recommended supplier probably has it in stock. Here is a list of syringes and accessories that are usually in stock:
