My GP's surgery has (without any consultation of course) put all their diabetics onto Glucomen Glucoject pen needles.
As they had literally just received a letter this month from my clinic reminding them that I should be using BD Microfine or Novofine needles (as they keep changing me onto awful GlucoRX and B. Braun) I was rather miffed to say the least.
I would have actually considered trialling the Glucoject needles alongside the BD Microfine's but as I'm down to my last 10 BD needles I don't want to chance them being awful like some others.
Why GP's can't try and get their patients on-board with things like this I don't know! A simple email and a sample box of the Glucojects and I might have a) been happy with the change and b) saved them some cash in the long-run
I've called them and politely requested that they change my prescription back and they have done this but I was wondering what the Glucoject needles are like as they are still on my repeat prescription alongside the now-returned BD Microfine's and I might give them a whirl.
Has anyone got any experience with them? Are they just a branded version of the generic MyLife or GlucoRX type needles?
