Need for 1/2 unit syringes and needle length selection in Toddlers

@T1Allison
Real quick - point the needle down when priming!!

If you prime pointing up, insulin drips on the barrel of the needle. Then when you inject, that insulin drops back onto the surface of your skin, and you are not sure if you had a leak.

If you already know this, please forgive my mentioning it!

Prime down, not up!!!
