Insulin syringe

[Waheeda]

Just checking that this is fine for lantus? Cos currently I’m using the 8mm, 0.25mm (31g).
Not sure what that 15/64” on the box means. Anyone using this? Someone giving me this syringe, just wanna be sure it’s the same, only shorter needle.

looks okay. 15/64 inch = 6mm - the lenth of the needle.

So 0.25mm refers to 31g, thickness of needle I guess ?

Yep!

Yep!

Thanks!

Thanks!

No problem! The higher the gauge, the thinner the needle, which is weird. 31 I think is the highest you’re good!

My brain says this syringe is fine but I just need assurance. Safety of my furkid is most impt. And no one understands this better than this amazing group.
