How does the length of the needle on a syringe effect insulin absorption? For the past two weeks, my blood sugars, particularly in the moring, have not been under control. The only thing that has really changed has been the length of the needle on my syringe. I used to have 1/2 inch needles. When my prescription was refilled, I was given 5/16 inch needles.
