I use the 1cc pins, i draw with a 23g and pin with the 27g 1/2 inch needle. So no need to backfill, store, preload,etc
Why do folks use all in one insulin pins?
It’s easier to push the oil thru a 1 cc syringe. There is physics at play, since the plunger is 1/3 the size of a 3cc plunger it takes lets say 1/3rd the effort to push the oil thru a small gauge needle. This way I can use 30 gauge needles.
Plus it’s a joke to backload. I use a normal 3cc syringe with a 20 gauge pin and pull up the oil, then yank out the plunger, and backload the amount I need.
I hang the plunger off the edge of the counter so it doesn’t touch anything.
Never had an infection from doing this, shit I even use the same 3 cc syringe until the numbers rub off, so like 3 or so months.
I am sterile and use a clean working area.
I have been injecting daily for 5 months now, plus my 2 times a week for test.
I don’t mind preloading. I don’t preload my tb/bpc/ copper/ gh because I draw that all at once in the same insulin syringe and inject right away, but I don’t know, it’s fun to be lazy to not have to load a syringe when you have to do a normal test injection. This way I can toss the insulin syringe into the top drawer in my bathroom the night before. Then when I crawl out of bed and shower, I can inject right out of the shower when I am really clean and not have to worry about loading anything first. 5 am is early, I don’t feel like loading a syringe at that time, lol.
Honestly, I am never lazy, this is one of the only things I am lazy at, and I enjoy it,
