SubQ injection

hey guys, a very simple question for all.

i have a skill test coming up and my prof. is making a big fuss over what size needle you should use for insulin injection.

i just want to know if there are more than 1 size of needle for insulin injections?

can you help me identify them if there are?

    You may use needles that are 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch long. Both lengths are acceptable for subcutaneous insulin administration.

    26-gauge to 31-gauge needles are acceptable for subcutaneous insulin injections. Click on the link below to see the different gauges and lengths of insulin needles being sold online. Good luck to you!
