Anyone who wants to use the BD Microfine 4mm needles, just see your GP and ask for a prescription. Most people using the modern insulins of normal build, will be able to get away with injecting insulin closer to the surface of the skin with no obvious problems. That's why the 4mm needle has now been marketed. It also helps to address non compliance issues raised by bolus/basal and people saying that they bruise easily and injections are painful etc. :wink:
