We do not confuse syringes with needles.

Hello, I have not been confused, only that the "new" fail to understand that the very old treatment of diabetes was made with glass or glass syringes and needles as a 3cm nail and had to be boiled in their metal box, addingalcohol in the part that closed that box and during +/- 2m !!!And expect it to cool ....... I have used that system and I still do it after 54anos, but now "I am very modern" and use the disposables;That is why and I know that in the USA they have already been on sale: syringes with finer and shorter needles;I explain this to those who use the pump /insulin system, feel "private for science in treatment advances" ANI

Ani, the syringes that my daughter uses for Lantus are 8mm, but there must be 6mm or less, because there are babies that need very small doses of diluted insulin.I am surprised that there are no in Brussels ...

I made it boiling on a Peqieño stainless steel dish and adding a few drops of vinegar for the theme of lime.But the truth that many years ago.I am missing that it is still using today.And less with those needles that were intramusculates and insulin absorption is worse.Debut in 71.

CARLOS71 GREETINGS ANIME CONSELADA Knowing that there are people who understand what I explain, but I must clarify that I have lived it many years ago but not now, that's why I look for syringes c/shorter needles that sell them in the USA and not here in Brussels in Brussels, where do I live, if you know that Européo country can sell them online? Please let me know and thank you;) And you?How do you carry this ??I hope we continue talking to "hold us" at some difficult time !!!
