Bolis needles, what measure do you like more and why?

Do not goat artories, I have only said that those of 8 are recommended to the majority of adults."They recommend" do not force and "majority" not to all.
Also everyone knows what is best, or not?

I more than in the mm of size, in what I have found abysmal differences is in the brand that manufactures the needles.I don't know if it's my paranoia, but it's so.I am very crazy or someone else happens that a brand of needles hurts less than others?

No, you're not crazy, I can't with Braum's omnicate, I get bruises, I do nods and scratches when I take it out, it hurts a lot and also do not screw well and some is obtained and insulin does not come out, a disgusting
For me the best bd

The best BD.The needle brand can influence the length.
5 mm are giving good results in many people.

Maria always BD, and in the association they told us to ask for these, that with the rest there were many complaints.At the moment it has not been necessary, they always give us the BD.

Afterego, yes that can be better than 8, if you see that it makes you faster.

Ok, I'm not crazy ... With the 5 mm BD I have zero problems.

If you really regulate that it has been better with those of 8mm and now with the Dexcom
You do not see how values ​​are improving and almost no hypos.
I tell you in secret, I do not shout very strongly and everything is going to take.

Well, know that with those of 8 is absorbed before.You learn a lot with the Dexcom!

I use 5mm since it appeared to me last year and had no problem, I think we are going, it is true that a droplet can be lost but I think it does not affect the results.
I use those of Insupe 3ig pic solution or something

I have used those of 8 in needles and with the pump and prefer the 6 mm.Both for the ball and the pump.Absorption in my case equal and more comfortable.

Do needles influence insulin absorption?This morning, for the first time, I have used a 5 and not 8 mm and, even having a little more (not much) than usual, I have given 84 in glucose when I was 87: s on an empty stomach: S

@pike if you use 8mm, make sure you click on Angulo, with the 5MM no need.For the rest, if you do not notice difference in your glycemias you use those that are more comfortable/painless

I use the BD of 5, the dwellings.They are with the ones that best managed.And I don't even find out about the puncture.Of course, I am thin and with fat infantity typology;))

I have only used 5 mm.Now BD, I don't know what they were before.Those that give me in the ambulatory.BDs are better than the previous ones.
I am, like Pochola, child typology :) And I find out about the prick many times.Another bigger needle no, thanks.

I started with 8 needles, those that gave me in the hospital, but I recently read that they were not good to inject insulin and when I went to the Diabetics Association of my city they confirmed it to me.As many comment here I do not have a gram of fat.They recommended the 5 mm and I have noticed improvement.It doesn't hurt, with the 8 mm sometimes I felt how different layers were transferring as the needle put.
I have recently diagnosed me, so I have little experience, but from what I see it depends totally on the person.

In my particular case, the ones that facilitated me were the 8 mm ....... but I think that they come better because I have some overweight and the smallest could not penetrate in its entirety and part of theInsulin when injecting it into the beer belly ....

To me the 5 mm did never go well, they made me packages, better those of 8mm and I am not overweight, those of BD, which gave before in my ambulatory, omnifilm were horrific, it gave the measure, pain, bruises, bruises, packages, scratches when taking it out, others did not adjust well, others obstruct themselves ...

Absolutely to personal plane those of 8.
I use the Phamanova brand and I do very well with them.
After a couple of weeks with those of 5 equal to as @gala the packages etc.

I use the 8mm and they do well.His thing is to count up to twenty once the liquid injected so that insulin does not come out what happens is that it is difficult not to catch some venilla or capillary;Apart from how bad the puncture areas have.
