needle size

hi.
can anyone using a insulin pump tell me the size of the needle please??

There are some pictures here that may help. There are different types of cannula, some go straight in as this one, others go in at an angle. The needle is only used to introduce the plastic cannula.

I insert my cannulas by hand but many people use a gadget that inserts the needle and cannula as in this video
