[QUOTE="CapnGrumpy, post: 1357481, member: 195556"] Back when I had to pay for them and wasn't earning much, yes, I reused them as much as possible; even digging out a less blunt one from the discard pot on the occasions when I forgot to buy more in time or spinning the NovoPen round like a little drill so the pentip would go in. Once I got them on prescription two or three jabs per needle was normal to start with as it seemed a little wasteful, but finally I settled on a new needle each time - less air bubbles and leakage due to temperature changes, and less having to remember how old a needle was and finding out the hard way.
