I have just been prescribed Mounjaro and the surgery are going to prescribe 4mm needles. Before they did I had a quick Google and read that people with lots of subcutaneous fat (guilty!) may need longer needles eg 8mm.

My question is how will I know if 4mm needles are too short? The surgery will change them if I need longer ones but didn't advise me how I could tell.
