hello there, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes more than 25 years ago so you can I have tried my fair share of needles and devices. My GP switched my repeat prescription to the GlucoRx CarePoint (0.25x4mm) insulin pen needles a couple of years ago and well, despite the cheaper plastic, I found them to be much better than others!

At least until a few months ago...I believe they changed the plastic/design again (feels different now?) and I keep on getting air bubbles. I know it is perfectly normal to get some air in sometimes but this is just too much. It is almost as if the needle is no longer a perfect fit to the pen somehow? I never experienced this and quite concerned. perhaps a manufacturing error..who knows.

Anyone experiencing a similar issue?? I have reached out to GlucoRx and awaiting a response.
