learn how to backfill an insulin syringe and start doing subcutaneous injections.
subq is safer, and because of the significantly smaller needle you are also causing far less trauma and not ending up with scar tissue everywhere from years of poking yourself. If you ever need to pin more than 1ml at a time, its because you're lying to yourself about how much you actually need, or you're using some stolen vet gear that is like 25mg/ml or something ridiculous.
Above all else, the single most important advantage of subq injections: if you ever get an abscess, its going to be very easy to access, drain and treat and wont require going under and getting your muscle cut open multiple times like that dickhead on youtube who injected dirty gear in Colombia and almost lost his leg.
inb4 "does it work the same" yes.
