[QUOTE="mrmurse, post: 139084, member: 38294"] I am attempting IM. I am atleast 33% body fat but I don’t seem to have a thick layer of fat over my delts or outer thighs. However, I’ve always been taught that for bigger adults, you need atleast a one inch needle...if not longer to successfully inject IM. I’m not worried about load time and I want to minimize lost medication due to dead space. So the 27 gauge 1/2 inch seems perfect, except that I’d be worried I’m not actually injecting IM. I read on the forum about someone, Gene I think, who draws and injects with a 25gauge 1 inch and then draws whatever is left in the tip back into the syringe and then uses an insulin syringe to draw and inject the minute amount left over SQ. Granted more work and one more stick, but I’m okay with that and it seems as if it may check all the marks for me. Thanks for all the input so far! [/QUOTE]
