Novo fine needle availability

[sweaty betty]

Just been to Boots to collect my prescription and they’ve told me that they can’t get hold of novofine 6mm needles and that I need to ask my GP to prescribe a different type.

Has anyone else been told this? Is there an alternative that’s as good?

Thanks

Can't you phone around other chemist's nearby and see if they have any? I don't use them but I haven't seen anything posted anywhere else about them being unavailable xx

Why don’t you try the BD Viva 5mm needles? What pen do you have? I use these for my Lilly pen which is for my fast acting Humalog and also use those needles for my disposable Levimir pens.
