Insulin needles & syringes
February 4, 2009
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:
