The BD Ultra-Fine Mini pen needle is 31 gauge, 5 mm (3/16"). It's the shortest insulin pen needle in the world, and no insulin pen needle is thinner. It can be safely used by both children and adults, providing reliable injections with no "pinch-up" of skin required. You should consult with a health care professional before switching to a shorter insulin pen needle.

Today's insulin needle is thinner and more delicate for greater comfort, so needle reuse can damage the tip and cause injury.

BD is the only brand of pen needles you will ever need.

FAQs for Insulin Syringes

  • What Size Syringes Do You Use for Insulin?

    Insulin syringes come in several sizes: Gauge (needle thickness): 28G to 31G (thinner needles for less pain) Length: 6mm, 8mm, 12.7mm Barrel Capacity: 0.3ml (30 units), 0.5ml (50 units), 1ml (100 units) Consult your doctor or diabetes educator for the best size for your needs.

  • Are Syringes Free at Pharmacies?

    Some pharmacies and clinics may offer free syringes for diabetes patients through assistance programs. Check with your pharmacist, healthcare provider, or local health department.

  • Is 20 Units of Insulin a Lot?

    It depends on individual needs. Some people need less than 20 units; others require more, based on their blood sugar, weight, diet, and activity level. Always follow your doctor’s prescription to avoid too much insulin or too little.

  • What Is the Best Needle for Diabetics?

    Ultra-thin, short needles (31G, 6mm) are often preferred for improved comfort and minimal pain, lowering the risk of intramuscular injection. Choose needles designed for subcutaneous insulin delivery.

  • What Is the 3-Hour Rule for Insulin?

    The 3-hour rule means you should avoid taking another fast-acting insulin shot within 3 hours of a previous dose to prevent stacking and the risk of hypoglycemia.

  • How Much Insulin Do I Need if My Sugar Is 300?

    Your insulin dosage for high blood sugar (like 300 mg/dL) depends on your correction factor (how much one unit lowers your blood sugar). Never adjust doses on your own—always consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

  • What Are Signs of Not Enough Insulin?

    Common signs of insufficient insulin include: High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) Excessive thirst Frequent urination Fatigue Blurred vision Unexplained weight loss

  • What Needle Does Ozempic Use?

    Ozempic is injected with a prefilled pen using 4mm to 8mm, 32G to 31G pen needles for minimal pain and easy subcutaneous delivery.

  • What Happens If I Eat Immediately After Taking Insulin?

    Eating immediately after rapid-acting insulin can help prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially when mealtime insulin is used. Follow your diabetes care plan and timing as advised by your provider.

  • What Is the Best Time to Check Blood Sugar?

    Before meals and at bedtime for most users As recommended by your doctor, or before/after exercise, when sick, or when adjusting medications

  • What Should I Eat if My Blood Sugar Is High?

    Focus on low-carb, high-fiber foods, lean proteins, and plenty of hydration. Avoid sugary foods and drinks.

  • Can Exercise Lower Blood Sugar Levels?

    Yes! Regular physical activity is one of the most effective, natural ways to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity. Always monitor your child's or your own blood glucose levels pre-and post-exercise.
