How to choose the right size insulin syringe

Choose the smallest size syringe which is big enough to hold the largest dose you take in a day. If your largest dose is close to the syringe’s maximum capacity, you might want to buy the next size up to handle any increases in your dose adjustments.

• 0.3mL – Ideal for doses under 30 units
• 0.5mL – Ideal for doses between 30 units and 50 units
• 1.0mL – Ideal for doses between 50 units and 100 units

Important Note

BD 31G (0.25mm) 15/64in (6mm) 1/2cc (0.5mL) U500 Insulin Syringes are for single use only. After injecting insulin please dispose of syringes properly by using a specifically designed sharps container. There is a high possibility of infection if syringes are used more than once. Sharpness and lubrication also deteriorate after first use which requires more pressure to penetrate the skin thus causing pain.

Storage and Use of Medicine

Check the drug information sheet or contact the drug manufacturer for recommended storage and use of your medicine. To avoid clogging and/or contamination of the syringe needle, DO NOT store medicine inside the syringe.

What is the difference between U-500 and U-100?

U-500 is 5 times more concentrated than standard U-100 insulin and it takes less liquid per dose than standard U-100 insulin to help reduce your blood sugar levels. With U-500, you can inject up to 80% less liquid and still get the dose you need.
