Thread: How to inject subcutaneous?

I have 29g 1/2" 1ml slin pins. I go an inch to the right or left of my belly button. I kinda grab to the outside of where I'm going to pin and pinch it. I go in at 90 degrees. That's always worked for me.

Its just like injecting insulin, search youtube for 'how to inject insulin'.

Also you can inject it IM.

I was told these are best:

30g 5/16 1cc syringes slin pins

I ordered 100 for under 15 bucks.

There are a number of sites on your body which are recommended for SQ shots. Do a search on the Web for this chart.

This is what I do too^^^^

your pins are fine.just pince some fat/skin in your ab region and inject.

I constantly see patients at work injecting insulin in the same spots day after day with no problems. And just pinch a little fat on your torso that is easy for you to reach and inject. It's way easier than an IM shot.
