[QUOTE="madman, post: 246573, member: 13851"] I would stick to the BD brand as many prefer them over the Easy Touch and they are widely available in Canada. BD syringes are top-notch! You can get away with injecting shallow IM using a 1/2" or even 5/8" needle but again it depends on where you are injecting and how much adipose tissue. Unfortunately, BD does not make 27-gauge LDS insulin syringes (fixed needles). You would need to use the BD 27 G Slip-Tip Tuberculin Syringe with Detachable Needle (1/2", 1-1/4", 1-1/2"). Easy touch makes 27-gauge LDS insulin syringes (fixed needles) 1/2" ([USER=3]@Nelson Vergel[/USER] go-to syringe)! If you plan on injecting shallow IM then you are much better off using a 27-28 gauge LDS insulin syringe (fixed needles) 1/2". If you plan on going strictly sub-q then you can easily use a 27-31G LDS insulin syringe with various needle lengths 1/4"(6MM), 5/16"(8MM), 1/2"(12.7MM). I inject strictly sub-q (abdominal fat) and previously used the BD 28G x 1/2" for years until switching over to the 30G x 5/16" and eventually the 31G X 1/4". Now back to using the 28G x 1/2" again! Started my trt journey using Depo-Testosterone (TC) and eventually switched over to Delatestryl (TE). Never had an issue drawing/injecting TE let alone TC in cottonseed oil using an LDS insulin syringe. Although drawing time may be somewhat slower when using a 30-31G it is not that big of a deal especially when one is injecting more frequently using a lower volume of the oily solution. If you plan on following a once or twice-weekly protocol then I would go with a 27-28G. If you plan on injecting more frequently as in EOD or daily then I would go with a 30-31G.
