[QUOTE="Jackie Treehorn, post: 46216, member: 12618"] Billy, You've asked these very same questions in another thread, and many different guys have answered you. You've received a lot of good advice which you're either A.) ignoring, or B.) disregarding as bad advice. Have you called Defy yet for a consult? I know that I personally told you in the other thread to quit harpooning yourself with the 23ga/1" needles, and switch to insulin pins for comfort. I even provided a link to easy touch. Your question regarding changing the needles to a smaller gauge is possible, as long as you have luer lock syringes. You can buy almost any size luer lock needle (usually in 100 count boxes), to use with any luer lock syringe. The brand doesn't matter, as long as it's a luer lock. A 1/2" needle is long enough to effectively deliver your medication. Testosterone doesn't have to go deep into the muscle to assure good bioavailability. I personally use a 1/2"/29ga insulin pin for test, and I inject into my quad (vastus lateralis). My legs are long and lean, with hardly any body fat. That 1/2" needle is more than likely going shallow IM, not SubQ...and you know what, it really doesn't matter either way. You will have good bioavailability with SubQ, shallow IM, or deep IM, it really doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
