Insulin SQ prepared in IV room

Hello, I looked through the archives and only found one similar question with one response...

For those places that draw up SQ insulin doses in the IV room, do you draw up in a regular syringe or an insulin syringe?

If yes for insulin syringe, do you recap with original cap, or have some other capping mechanism?

Thank you!
