Those are good looking numbers for subq. Daily administration would keep volume down. The idea of not pinning a muscle is appealing. My have to seriously consider this.
 
I have a what if question….

Let’s use me for the example… a 60 yo man with enough cake to always find a pinch of fat to pin… let’s say (pretty unlikely but possible) I get a big burr under my saddle buckle down for 6 months and drop my extra bf (let’s say down to 12%)… will there be enough to inject into?

This is out of ignorance… I don’t remember the last time I’ve been that lean if ever.
 
Are the autoinjectors one and done (discard)?

Like the “epi-pens”.
 
I don’t know about oil subQ. But I’m pretty close to 12% I think, and I subQ daily. But not test oil. You could always subQ pin on your thigh.
 
In abs it’s noticeable the first couple days if you have your shirt off. So not something you want to do during the summer or walking around people that don’t know without a shirt. I think by day 3 it disappeared completely when I was doing it.
 
Yeah that sounds annoying. And I’m too vain to have a gum ball sticking out of my stomach:joy:😂
 
I always wondered what that “bump” was on kk…could it be what you speak of?

Yeahhhh I’m not about those bumps. Seems like
It would be nice to not have to pin for real but I definitely don’t want to deal with those bumps.
 
I use an insulin syringe in the muscle. It’s the best of both worlds. No big needle to create scar tissue and no subq lumps.
