Are you using BD microfine 4mm ultrafine needles?
Or are you bring fobbed off with cheaper ones?
BD ultrafine have a lubrication to the steel needle and my DSN at hospital says no way would she consider cheaper unlubricated needles for diabetic patients....not withthe qty of injections we have to do.
Personally if I was on cheap versions I would be taking photos of lumps, bumps n bruises and giving to GP and asking how they would react to being given cheaper versions and ending up suffering!!
They can prescribe the non cheap versions if pushed.
Just a thought.. You may be on the good needles, but somehow I doubt it!!
