I’ve been using BD needles for years only problem I get is them getting blocked as I don’t change them every time I inject.

Thanks @Antje77 for the nomination, unfortunately, I will have to decline got a little bit going on at the moment, things are good and progressing well. Should be up on my feet in the near future.
