[QUOTE="alaric, post: 160706, member: 30262"] Hi, just want to put my tuppence worth in!. I've been Type 1 for 6 years & I detest needles. I was put on sharps that were 8mm. I couldn't even look whilst I injected & it usually took me 3 or 4 goes at having the jab!. I'm 6ft & 14 1/2 stone, not overweight by any stretch. These needles were never revised by my team because they were very bad at their job. I now have a new Practice nurse who has turned my life around with regards diabetes. I was getting very painful lumps & bumps from using these 8mm needles, she advised me that this size was mainly for ( sorry if you are reading this & disagree, it's only a quote ) overweight people and that I was actually injecting into my muscle. She put me onto these new 4mm needles, one word, AWESOME!!. Give them a go. [/QUOTE]
