Good afternoon! So far I have been using Lantus and Humalog with 5mm BD needles, but now the endocrine has changed Lantus for Tresiba.When reading the new insulin prospect they do not name the BD needles. I would like people who use three to tell me that needles use this insulin. Thank you so much :) All the best!

@Luvi, 12 mm, are not already used.8 mm are left over, and with 5 or 6 mm it is already enough, even if you are not thin.If you put it with one of 12 in vertical, without pinch, you are at risk of entering capillaries.

Keep using them.Those of 12 are for people with a lot of body mass, for thin people with 6 or 8 enough.The risk of using longer needles than you should are not capillaries, is to click on muscle, which makes insulin absorb much more quickly so you can have hypoglycemia.I use three months
Well, I have always used that measure 12'7, both in syringes, and now with the pen, in fact I remember once when I used syringe that had been left without them and I no longer had and gave me some of 5mmAnd when I saw it I was checked, I say if it is not bigger than a lancet where I am going to click with this ???, but for what I see all use other lower measures.I must be rare as a person and as a diabetic, Puffffff

Looking at your photo, honestly, you are not fat or very full of fat, therefore, the other foreros are right, you could reach the muscle and your insulin is assimilated much faster and, .......... ahiThis 1 topic to correct!my dear @luvi;)
