Hi,

I had an e-mail conversation with one of the members of this Forum and he got me very curious about some different syringes. I use normal insulin syringe 27G 1/2" and after injecting I checked if there was any testo left in the needle. So I draw back and it came back some testo, meaning the full dosage wasn´t injected. So my conclusion is, if one injects 0,2 ml one should draw a bit more in order to compensate for the loss. This means I´ve been injecting less than I thought I have. (inaccurate dosing and waste)
So according to the member there are syringes that can be bought that would minimize this problem.
So my question: Is a normal insulin syringe considered a low or high dead space syringe?
Or is there any method that can be used to get all fluid injected without waste?
