[Diabetes-Talk] {Spam?} Re: {Spam?} needle gages

[Patricia Maddix]

Angela,
The smaller the number, the thicker the needle is. I don’t use pens so don’t know which would be the best but in general the smaller the needle the less pain.  This numbering system also applies to lancets. I use lancets with a smaller number as it is difficult for me to get blood and I need to make a larger hole.
