Hello @borderter,

I use 32G needles and I think that the majority of diabetics will use "fine" needles that are more or less this gauge.

Providing that you're happy with them, then I'd see no reason why your GP would not prescribe them to you. If there is an issue however, the following are also very good "fine" needles which you can try and have prescribed:

-BD Micro-Fine Ultra Pen Needles
-mylife Penfine Classic

They are both 32G and come in varying lengths.

Good luck:)

I use bd microfine at the mo and they are not as pain free as 33insupen ones
