[QUOTE="madman, post: 204934, member: 13851"] There is no best injection technique. It comes down to what works for you. When injecting strictly sub-q (daily) let alone less frequently such as once weekly, twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD it would be more sensible to use a 1mL/.5mL/.3mL LDS (low dead space) fixed insulin syringe 27-31G various needle lengths 1/2" (12.7MM), 5/16"(8MM), 1/4" (roughly 6MM). I inject strictly sub-q into abdominal adipose and use .5ml 31G x 1/4" (6MM) needle length. Pinch, pull, jab 90°, let go skin, inject slow but steady. Just inject slow and steady (less trauma) to surrounding tissue. Avoid pressing hard on the plunger after injecting and it will make a big difference in preventing any flow back (oily solution/blood). I find piercing the skin quick than injecting slow and steady with minimal pressure from start to finish works best. The main benefits of using LDS (low dead space) fixed insulin syringes are a minimal waste of medication (esterified T), virtually painless, minimize scar tissue/trauma, easier to read for accurate dosing especially when injecting lower volumes of oil more frequently.
