[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1490185, member: 196557"] My GP switched me from BD to 'Insupen' which have been fine, and 5mm too. Perhaps you could 'negotiate' with your GP and see if there is another brand that is cheaper than BD put doesn't cause you these problems? It's certainly not acceptable to force you to use needles that are obviously not suitable for you though. On a general point, I think we all owe it to the NHS to [I][B]try [/B][/I]the cheaper options - if there is something that saves money without our care suffering than it must be encouraged. But the GPs have to also be fair and let us change back if it doesn't work out. [/QUOTE]
