Dr. Glenn Messina answered

Specializes in Aesthetic Medicine

Insulin syringes: You require special graduated Insulin needles, they are designed to accurately measure the units of Insulin you require. You wipe the top with alcohol draw back what you need wipe the skin and inject the tiny Insulin needle into the fatty layer of your skin Simple almost painless
