I am switching from insulin needle to a more typical syringe with (reduced) deadspace, to try out deeper IM injections. What is confusing is that insulin needles have no dead space whilst typical syringes do. Making the switch I really want to avoid fluctuations, I have a narrow dose where I feel good.Will 0.5ml on the insulin needle result in the same volume as 0.5ml on the regular syringe? Has anyone here gone from one to the other and experienced a need to change dose (with deadspace accounted for) or does it end up being pretty similar between the two?
