Re: Cara - Need a shoulder!
There's never been an abstract there to read--the notation refers to the larger Ultralente crystals being capable of plugging some needles. This would be a possible issue with Lente insulins (and Ultralente, when it was still sold) only.

Insulin can sting, regardless of what species, type or brand. Bringing the insulin to room temperature by removing it from the fridge before actually using it can help avoid painful injections. Warming the capped insulin syringe with your hands can have the same effect.

Some people tuck the capped and filled syringe under their arm for a few minutes to warm it before use. Do NOT attempt to warm insulin using a stove, microwave, etc.; you may destroy the insulin by doing so.
This is an attempt to show you how I held the syringe when giving Lucky's shot.
Now we'll try taking a look at syringes and compare.
