Switched from IM to SQ a few months ago, been using 25G x 5/8 insulin syringe at 90 degrees in my incredibly fat belly. Specifically, between 2-4 inches away from the belly button on either side.
The way it “feels” and how quickly i react to it, i think im actually doing a shallow IM...like im pushing right bast the SQ layer into some underlying muscle. I understand i can pinch up and go in at 45 degrees. I think it would be more convenient to just switch to the 27G x 1/2 insulin syringe and keep going straight in at 90 degrees, as recommended on here by the forum guides/articles.
im looking to hear from people who use the 27G x 1/2 going in at 90 degrees, and what your level of satisfaction is.
