Hi,

What are the best pen needles to use?
Currently using: BD Autoshield™ Duo (5mm 30G) http://www.bdinteractivemedia.com/safety/?product=Duo&lang=en-UK
with Novo Nordisk ® FelxPen® insulin pens

Thanks in advance

I've used 4mm BD Microfine and GlucoRX with no problems.

I've gone between BD fine & GlucoRX 4 mm as well, depending on what the chemist has in stock. I do prefer the BD fine as they seem sharper and less painful than the GlucoRx.
