Needle Gauge and Length: Why 31G and 6mm Matter

What is Needle Gauge?

A gauge is the measurement of the size of a needle. The 31G needle is thin, which helps to reduce the discomfort and pain when injecting.

Why 6mm Needle Length?

The 6mm length needle is designed to inject insulin right below the skin (subcutaneous tissue) instead of deep into the muscle. This may affect the absorption of insulin and lead to unpredictability in levels of blood sugar.
