Help with syringes, what do you use & where do you get them?

[Betchadeb]

Has anyone used these syringes? I am going to order new syringes and I want half unit marks on them as I am tired of guessing if I truly get the half unit on the syringes that I buy from the vet. If you don't use these please tell me what you use and where you get them from. Thank you. P.S. we are using u40 Prozinc.

I can't read what is written on the box.
These say they have 1/2 unit markings.

You can use human U100 syringes and use the conversion.

That way iwht onle half uit marked syringes each 1/2 unit is 0.2 units of a U40 insulin like Vetsulin

I'm still on the first batch of syringes I bought from a Vet: U-40 Syringes, 3/10cc, 29g, 1/2 inch. Mine do not have half inch markings.

I like these with a short needle (5/16") since I caught myself with a longer needle come out the side when injecting, causing a fur shot: https://www.adwdiabetes.com//produc...-5-16-with-half-unit-markings-100bx_16367.htm

The ReliOn ones Walmart sells do have 1/2 unit markings but found the plunger action a little rough so it's not so easy to adjust small amounts.

I like the carepoint u40 syringes 29 and a half gauge. The 31 gauge works better on a human with thinner skin. I don't like the shorter needles as cats tend to have thicker skin and a higher gauge is thinner. I buy mine from ADW and they have half unit markings on them.
I also have the U100 syringes with half unit markings and a conversion chart that I use for smaller doses.
