[QUOTE="gillkin, post: 1215038, member: 21873"] I now have a pump but when using syringes, have to admit only changed if needle felt blunt, that could be up to two weeks or more of using one four times a day. No bruising, infections etc and used them for 44 years before the pump.I'm the same with lancets, can't remember the last time I changed them in the two meter sets I have. The needles today are a million times sharper and finer than they used to be so probably felt sharper even if they were slightly blunt :) Its personal choice of course, I just felt it was a waste not to use them if they were still usable but I don't think they should be rationed.
