Reliable TRUEplus 1/2″ Insulin Syringes
Finding the right tools for diabetes management is essential for daily comfort and health.

These 1/2 inch (12.7mm) needles are a standard length used by many individuals for subcutaneous insulin delivery.

How to Choose Your TRUEplus Syringe
- Gauge (G): This refers to the thickness of the needle. A 29G needle is slightly thinner than a 28G needle, which may offer increased comfort for some users.
- Capacity (cc): The barrel size determines the maximum dose. A 0.5cc syringe holds up to 50 units of insulin, while a 1.0cc syringe holds up to 100 units.
- Needle Length: All products on this page feature a 1/2 inch needle, which is a common choice for reaching the subcutaneous fat layer.
When selecting a TRUEplus 1/2″ syringe, you should focus on two primary specifications: the gauge of the needle and the capacity of the barrel. These factors determine the comfort of the injection and the amount of insulin you can administer at one time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 28G and 29G TRUEplus needles?
The gauge number represents the thickness of the needle. A higher number like 29G indicates a thinner needle. While the difference between 28G and 29G is small, some users find that the thinner 29G needle provides a slightly more comfortable injection experience.
How do I know if I need a 0.5cc or 1.0cc syringe?
The choice depends on your maximum insulin dose. If your dose is 50 units or less, a 0.5cc syringe is usually preferred because the scale marks are further apart and easier to read. If your dose exceeds 50 units, you will need the 1.0cc syringe which holds up to 100 units.
Are TRUEplus 1/2″ syringes compatible with all insulin types?
Yes, these syringes are designed for U-100 insulin, which is the standard concentration for most insulin types used today. Always confirm your insulin concentration with your healthcare provider before use.
