Good Injection Technique

Needle length

When using injectable diabetes medications, choosing the right needle length is important for injecting into the subcutaneous fat layer without leakage or discomfort1. Injecting into muscle can lead to rapid insulin absorption and low blood sugar levels1,2. Shorter needles (4, 5, or 6 mm) are generally recommended for both children and adults with diabetes1,2.

Unifine Pentips pen needles are designed for single-use3 and must be removed immediately after each injection. Reusing needles can lead to complications like lipohypertrophy and infections1.
