Syringes

Diabetic Syringes

Diabetic syringes are the most common mechanism for insulin delivery. Many diabetics use insulin syringes because they offer the flexibility to use any type of insulin on the market, as well as the ability to mix different kinds of insulin in one injection. Diabetic syringes come in several different sizes depending on the strength and insulin dosage to be injected.

Selecting Diabetic Syringes

When selecting diabetic syringes there are two main characteristics to consider: needle gauge and syringe barrel size. When selecting diabetic syringes, it's important to remember that the higher the gauge, the thinner the insulin needle. Most needles range from 28 gauge to 31 gauge. 31 gauge needles are the thinnest and shortest in length, and require a physician's approval to use.

Syringe barrels come in three main sizes, depending on the dosage. These barrels are available in 3/10 cc (holds up to 30 units), 1/2 cc (holds up to 50 units), and 1 cc (hold up to 100 units). Most diabetics select the syringe barrel based on the number of insulin units they have to take at one time. To get the most accurate dose, you should choose the smallest diabetic syringe that will hold the largest dose of insulin prescribed. Here are some popular brands of diabetic syringes:

• Aimsco syringes
• BD syringes
• Monoject syringes
• ReliOn syringes
• UltiCare syringes
• UltiGuard syringes
