Hello-
I live in Chicago and I need to get u-100 syringes that have fine markings. I have the syringes that says 3/10cc on it. My vet said there is something that shows the .25; .50 and .75 marking.
I checked my local CVS and Walgreens and they don't carry it. Does anyone know where I can find this syringe?
Thanks for any help,
Sandra

| I've never seen U-100 with .25 markings. Wal-Mart carries U-100 3/10 with .5 markings. I just use the .5 mark and "guess" at .25 or .75 by pulling the insulin to just above or below the line. We call these "fat" or "skinny" shots. |

Thanks. I did find the syringes at Walmart only thing is that the needle part, even though its the same gauge as the one I'm currently using, looks and feels somehow thicker??? Anyway, I guess we'll have to make this work.
Thanks again!

| I use the 31 gauge, thin. You may have gotten 29 or 30 gauge. The smaller the number the larger the needle. |
