Why I Use Syringes Over Flex Pens For My Diabetes Care Diabetes Daily Hustle

    • Health & Fitness

1. Flex pens usually lead to leakage from an injection. It's inaccurate!

2. Shorter needles ironically hurt more.

3. Connivence. If I choose to avoid as much leakage as possible with using a flex pen, I would have to hold the needle under my skin for about 20 to 30 seconds, while still getting leakage! Syringes are a one second injection.
