I got a letter from my doctor's surgery a couple of weeks ago to say that they were changing my insulin pen needles from BD microfine to Omnican fine as they were cheaper. Fair enough. I got a box of them yesterday and put them into use. It turns out that once you put the needle on and remove the outer plastic shell, there is nothing covering the needle so it is exposed from the outset. What it does do though is ensure single use for each needle instead of multiple use which i was quite guilty of despite knowing the consequences. It also explained why they gave me 2 boxes instead of my normal 1 box. Cost effectiveforbthe NHS and better for my body.
