Since reading his post, I've attempted a couple IM shots (bicep and pectoralis). I think I just barely hit... but I can tell that it will take a needle longer than 8 mm to get a good IM. 
FWIW, I believe have inadvertently shot Lantus into muscle. That is no fun... fighting hypos shortly afterward, then running high the next day. Yuck.
