Usually have the bd microfine needles but was given the ultra last time and feel they are a bit kinder anyone else have a preference
 
I was given the BD Microfine Ultra "Penta-Point" this time. I have to say that I find them quite a lot more comfy to use, though it coincided with the Diabetes.co.uk Facebook post showing the damage that multi-use of single use needles can cause to the point. That made me start using the needles once only after 37 years of using them for up to 5 times each.
 
Normally do use the BD Microfine needles but after picking up my last prescription I was given some 4mm needles by Owen Mumford, they are called Unifine Pentips and they really are a good needle, no pain on injecting whatsoever.
 
Noblehead do you know how the needles compare pricewise


I don't unfortunately, can't see there being much of a difference but really can't say for sure.
