[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 358860, member: 12578"] Personally, I think that you should be disposing of them in a sharps bin., whether clipped or not. Heres what DUK say about it. [url=http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Treatments/Insulin/Disposal_of_sharps/]http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-dia ... of_sharps/[/url] If I'm out then I will put used needles, cannulas (I have a pump), lancets etc in a small container and dispose of them properly at home. For day to day use, I use an old glucose strip canister. If I'm going away for longer then I'll use either a plastic bottle with a screw cap (the type people decant cosmetics into) or for longer holidays a .5lt sharps bin . [/QUOTE]
