I think I'm going to order some 4mm and give them a try. I did get the pharmacy trying to palm me off with some nasty cheap needles not too long ago but they didn't fit my pen and so they changed it back to Novofine.

Hi I was just wondering what size needle people are using in their pens? I'm currently using Novofine 30G 0.3 8mm and have done for years. My doctor had recommend changing it to 4mm. Thanks

Yes I had a look at the Nova Rapid info for users and it lists all the same symptoms as mentioned previously. I think like you say you might have a unique feeling to you however if it's not on the list it's not counted (that's what I've found with this consultant so far). When I went to see...

Hi No I've never had the help from someone else always manage myself
