[QUOTE="sue cope, post: 360544, member: 56200"] A sharps box really is a must for safety and hygiene reasons. Can't remember where I got my first one from, but the council take away the full one and leave another empty one. if they will only issue you with a large one that you can't easily have at home, keep on until they give you a smaller one - I did and now have a 2 litre one which fits easily into a drawer or cupboard. When out for just one injection, leave the needle on the pen and dispose of in sharps box at home. If away for several changes of needle, put used needles in a small container e.g. test strips tub or vitamin tub or similar. When away for a holiday i.e. 2 or more weeks, either buy a small sharps box which is very cheap, or use a larger tub. [/QUOTE]
