One of the most difficult parts of the treatment of a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic is adjusting the insulin dosage. This involved repeated testing of blood sugar levels and adjusting the number and size of injections of insulin required.
The size of the needle used for injections is usually determined by the type of medication being administered and the injection site, not the weight of the person. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate needle size for a specific injection.
The syringes used for insulin administration can be fit with many sizes of needles. The finer needles have a higher gauge number....a 28 gauge needle is bigger/fatter than a 31 gauge needle, which is considered ultra-fine. The size of the syringe depends on the amount of insulin to be injected.
I think that you are referring to the insulin syringe,not the needle. The standard insulin syringe holds one cc, divided into 100ths, which is equal to one UNIT of insulin. It is imperative that you are using a U100 insulin solution with a U100 syringe. If you don't, the incorrect dosage could be catastrophic. There are some smaller insulin syringes that only hold 0.5 cc (making them half the size of the 1cc). They are STILL marked properly for U100 insulin even though they are smaller in size.

For an 8-year-old, a 22 to 25 gauge needle is typically used for injections, depending on the type and viscosity of the medication being administered. A 22 gauge needle is often preferred for vaccines, while a finer 25 gauge needle may be suitable for other types of injections. It's important to consider the child's size and comfort when selecting the appropriate gauge. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific recommendations.
