[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 303740, member: 14029"] Hi Franksie, the insulin can not bind to the plastic as there is a special oil/coating used in the cartridge. My PCT insists that a cartridge can and must be used for 6 days. So I assume that bigger users must reuse the cartridges. My 200u cartridge lasts about 10 days at the moment. When I self funded I used to make my 300u cartridges last for 2 mths before I changed one. IE I reused it. Again no problems. I have been told off for doing this though as have been told the insulin degrades at about the 6 day stage. Personally I haven't noticed any difference in blood sugar levels. So best to go on what works for you :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
