[QUOTE="xAoifex, post: 360927, member: 45422"] I do reuse needles, I put a new one on both of my pens each morning so my basal gets 2 uses/needle and my bolus a minimum of 3 (sometimes up to 5 or 6) I take 1 spare needle out with me incase of any issues (I have also on occasion had to swap the needle from my levemir to my rapid before when I messed up and bent the needle!) I just can't be bothered to spend the time changing them each time or having to dispose of them whilst out and about. I want to carry as little as possible with me. I know that this is not what the healthcare professionals advise but it works well for me. [/QUOTE]
