Golden dose, 6mm needle?

Does anyone use there or even know if they are able to do the job? I’m quite intimidated by the idea of an 8mm but I have a little under a full dose in my pen as I was taking 3mg from a 2.5mg, but with the extra in there I can definitely get another 3mg

I use a 6mm needle to extra and inject the remaining medication.

I thought they had stopped the golden dose now?

New pens from April-ish won't have it, but pens which people already have, or which get delivered before the stocks change over, will do

I use 8mm for golden dose. They are fine.

morbidcuriosity · 19/03/2026 22:44

I actually got 8mm for my pen for normal dose too. I like them.

I use 8mm for my extra dose. I couldn't get anything shorter. I normally prefer 4mm or 6mm pen needles but the 8mm have been fine.

Can anyone link to the 6mm they use please?

I use a 1ml luer lock syringe from ukmedi. Then select the separate needle length and gauge you prefer.

I use a 4mm. Wanted to keep it the same as the pen needles so it didnt hurt

WappityWabbit · 21/03/2026 18:36

The syringe I use for extracting the golden dose has an 8mm needle and I still don’t feel it because it’s not wider than the normal needle attached to the pen.
