Needle change...

Mogmom and Goofus · Apr 24, 2015

I've been using U40 needles, but would like to switch to smaller ones. Is this possible using ProZinc?

Stacym20 · Apr 24, 2015

Absolutely! It's so much easier to micro dose ProZinc with the U100 syringes. Each half unit tick mark on a U100 syringe is 0.2 units of U40 ProZinc. heres a link with a better explanation and conversion chart:

I use the u-100 syringes with Prozinc. Be sure to ask for the ones with 1/2 markings. I bought the wrong ones on my first try.

Thank you everyone!

I only used the u100s. I found it easier to stick with just those and use the conversion chart, which I posted on the fridge.

I am currently using U-40 syringes and would like to buy some U-100 syringes so I'm ready to use them when needed. I was wondering if I could use this without any issues http://www.adwdiabetes.com/product/surecomfort-short-needle-insulin-syringes_1316.htm I just wanted to make sure this would work before I bought them.
Thx

Those are the right size - the 1/2 unit markings are the important part. Some people like the short needles; some don't. You'll just have to see.

Monitor each box for variance in the tick marks along the barrel. Folks have observed that batches may vary.

Thank you both for the info, I have ordered them and will look at then closely for any variance.
