[QUOTE="runner2009, post: 532186, member: 95489"] I've had just the same sensation, but what it seems to me that I've hit a nerve cell right on the head, if I move slightly over often it doesn't hurt on the new skin area. As for the questions about the study, no offense taken. I know nothing about it and it could be rubbish like many studies are. It basically said there was little if any risk for reusing pen needles and mirrored my own experience and what was told to me by the free community clinic MDs. I've personally taken needle nose pliers to pen needles and those needles are tough little buggers. The only time I won't use them if they are bent or I can't prime it with a unit or two - I've not used new ones that won't prime. Actually I believe this reusing issue is really a non issue especially when considering the plethora of other serious issues facing us diabetics - like shrinking brains (-; Thx you for reiterating the forum philosophy of sharing experiences and not being overly harsh to members when they do ask questions and share their experiences. This forum IMO is a incredible resource and for most part a safe place to share and learn without fear of being critiqued. I remember when I was first diagnosed, after a week in Hospital with a H1AC of 13.6 - didn't even know what that meant. I was so afraid and overwhelmed and alone. I only wish I had discovered the forum sooner. I do hope that the woman who started this thread returns as she seemed to be very dedicated in controlling her diabetic condition and I am sure she has a lot to contribute.
