Very good.

Here I am again with my doubts, I am very sorry to be so heavy.

-Is it normal that the altoges of the bolis do not click well?It happens to me (not always but very often) that I have to do a little force to begin to enter, as if I had a tougher first barrier and then enter well.I am used to the typical syringes and those punctured without noticing resistance and I am surprised that they, being much faster, click much worse.The truth is that sometimes they hurt me ...

Thanks in advance.All the best!!

Good, in reference to what you say depends on the type (brand) of needles, I have been used from 12mm, 8mm and now 4 mm several brands.Of course, the ones that have gone best are those of Lucky brand are the ones that dispense me, but there was a time when they were Italian manufacturing and were very bad, the cut of the tip was very noticeable than more than going through, it laughed.Also the type of skin you have can affect, there are people who have an outer layer of harder/dry skin.

Thanks for answering!

Yes I have hard skin.But a while ago I was injected with another medication, also subcutaneous, with the typical pharmacy syringes that have the thickest needle and this never happened to me ... these that give me abras me sometimes (almost always), it is as you say, notes when clicking as if they scratched, as if they were shaking.They are 4mm and 32g, the brand does not know ... I know what they are made in China.The truth that I would pay for some who did not manage so much 😅🙈 ... if there are, of course

The same with about 6mm or even 8mm you can click easier.It happens to me.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

There are some that are called Glucoject that are bad, bounced when I picha, now I use the BD of 5 mm and go wonderfully, I imagine that you will change them frequently, right?

Siiii, a single use.If they go wrong ... I imagine after 3 days 😅

I confess that before, a few years ago, the syringes used them a few days, until the nurse found out and threw me the anger.From that, a use.

In the health center they give me 4 or 5mm.I asked for twice of 4. The next I ask for 5 to see.

Thank you!!

In the pharmacy they are not very expensive, 100 needles of the best brand for about 8 euros.

And I am not going to Cap to Pillar Virus ...

I go to the health center, I have less than half a minute and they are very nice.Do not cease to exist, it would be dead if it weren't for them.Of course, if with the 5mm I do not improve this I will try others, I have bruises even in the identity card and the entire part of the legs.The abdomen's skin does not hurt by sequelae of surgeries, but it gives a bit of grrima see it 🤦🏻‍♀️
