I use Autoshield BD needles. I have had problems with them. Sometimes they leak the insulin and often nothing comes out so I put them aside. I have almost half a box of said needles.

Two questions:- 1) Does anyone have similar problems and 2) Has anyone tried to return them to the pharmacy?

Had similar problems before switching to BD ultra. Got a big and a half of them, have asked but can't return and noone else will take them as prescribed go me, seems a shame to bin them though.
