Are there videos about storing it in insulin syringes?
Im Europe we commonly get single use 1ml vials (while in the us 10ml multi use vials seem more common) so we have to draw up everything at once and then store in syringes.

I use one big needle for drawing all the test onto the syringes then put a smaller syrringe on it for storage and before injection I throw the storing syrringe away and use a fresh one.
Doctor said the storing syrringe becomes unsterile after a couple days, which is why I should use a fresh one. Not sure whether that would apply to i sulin syrringes, as you can't change the needle.

With insulin needles one would also have problems with drawing up the last portion of the test from these 1ml vials. There would be a high chance of the needle scratching the bottom and losing its sharpness which is not good.
I guess with the american 10ml rubber top vials this is less of a problem.

Idk but arent there like 100 insulin syringes for a few bucks so you dont have to change anything and just throw away after use? But I am uninformed on this topic. I just want to use s.c. because it is just safer and better than I.M
In america apparently everyone uses s.c injections instead of i.m and with higher frequency too. In europe doctors would prescribe you 250mg e14d

would these only be used for injecting sub-q as opposed to intramuscular?

I got prescribred 100mg/week split into 50mg twice a week. Injecting subq into belly fat with regular syringe. Even though I lose something, it is less that derreck says.

I am losing 0.03-0.05ml per injection instead of 0.1 but my doctor accounted for that.

My prescribed dosage is 0.2ml per injection, to get enough, I draw 0.25ml into the syringe, so that even after the losses I inject enough.

Syrringe does not matter for subq or im, you can do both with either insulin or regular syrringes.

How do I know when I am subq and when IM? I mean if youre low bodyfat you hardly have enough fat. What would happen if I accidentially inject IM, nothing right?

You can i ject subq in the butt. You need to be very low bf to not have enough fat there.
You also don't have to put the needle all the way in.

Vut talk about that with your doctor. You need to make sure not to hit any nerve when injecting. You dctor can show you the save and unsave regions.

I never did im, but I guess you would have a second sting or at least feel that you are entering the muscle.
