Over 80% of patients with diabetes preferred the BD Insulin Syringe with the NEW BD Ultra-Fine™ 6mm needle to their current needle.

Latest clinical evidence and injection recommendations advocate shorter needles: The latest injection technique recommendations published in Diabetes and Metabolism (2010) mentions the following. “Shorter needles are safer and are often better tolerated…Initial therapies should begin with shorter needles. Shorter needles reduce the risk of injecting into the muscle. 4, 5 and 6mm needles may be used by any adult patient including obese ones.”

There is no medical reason to use a needle longer than 6mm.
