I looking for a syringe with the 1/2 unit mark and the guy at Walgreens thinks I'm crazy . Looking on line this is what I'm finding for BD syringe in the purple box , are these the ones I need?


3/10 cc (30 units) with half-unit scale

Yes you want:

Also choose between 30 or 31 gauge (needle thickness), and short vs long needle.
I prefer 30 gauge as I seem to bend the 31 gauge too easily.
And the short needle seems to work better for me, too.

Check these Teruma, 3/10 cc, 31 gauge, short needles and see what you think. They are marked with the half units.

ADW have the half unit U100 syringes http://www.adwdiabetes.com/product/...-needle-31g-310-cc-516-in-box-of-100_1316.htm and they are $13.99. ADW is American Diabetes Warehouse, where I purchased my 1/2 unit syringes.

I was able to get 20 at Walmart it's a 31g short needle with the 1/2 u marking , short needle is this going to be a problem?

I prefer the short needle as I've bent the longer ones, or stabbed myself with them.

Walmart Canada doesn't sell syringes with half unit markings. So annoying. I haven't been able yo source any.
