[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 202205, member: 6681"] Well, I reused needles for the past (whispers as I can't possibly be old enough!) 34 years, and never had a problem. I changed them regulalry, but not after every injection. I guess what we are seeing it that it depends when you were diagnosed, and what you are used to. If you are told to change them everytime, then change them everytime. I am hoping that the cost has come down in recent years, and this is now best practice. It does seem that HCPs now have to say this, due to the fact that it does not seem to be OK these days to rely on peoples common sense, in case they try and sue you. [/QUOTE]
