[QUOTE="AMBrennan, post: 359722, member: 37697"] Have you considered that sharps bins have not been developed for the lulz to see how far diabetics can be pushed? If you place used needles in trash bins then whoever ends up emptying them ends up risking needles stick injuries and infection with any blood-borne disease you might have. Yes, it's inconvenient. I'm sorry. But throwing them in the bin is just grossly negligent. With time, we may see more sharps bin in public places though (e.g. Toilets at US airstrike have them, and given that we are not far behind in terms of obesity/diabetes... ) Needle clippers mentioned earlier can be helpful but they are not designed to be used for the common shorter pen needles. The best I can suggest is to carry a small hard plastic container (e.g. Child-proof pill container) for the needles you will be using [/QUOTE]
