we had this problem when we collected our sons prescription on Friday. The 4mm needles have been withdrawn we had been told so we were given 6mm I think it was. When questioned, the receptionist at the surgery search through all the needles and low and behold, found the 4mm 32gauge needles but...

awww, thank you.

Oh my. What a mixture of emotions today has been. My son had his 2nd hypo today. Again, just before lunch. So, they have now dropped his morning dose by 1 unit. The rest of the day his bloods have been brilliant not going above 10 !!!! :clap: Also, he let daddy do not one, but TWO injections...
