The numbers on my old NovoPen were fading and becoming unreadable so decided to upgrade to the latest NovoPen. I had no problems with the needles I had at the time but I recently started a new pack of needles and while they work without any issues, the NovoPen lid doesn't quite fit snuggly. The lid clicks when closing but it soon springs open again when putting the pen in my drawer. It seems that the plastic needle cover on these new needles is slightly longer that the previous ones.
I don't usually pay much attention to the make of the needles I get but these are GlucoRx FinePoint 5mm. I've been using 5mm needles for some time and assume the chemist gives me whatever compatible 5mm needles they have in stock. I've been checking for alternate needles online but not sure how much choice of make I have as I don't know what's available on free prescription. Has anyone had a similar experience or can you tell me what type of 5mm needles you use for this pen?
