[QUOTE="Jaz253, post: 532195, member: 38875"] I'll reply based on my experience. Since dont have any kind of insurance and all my diabetes equipment must be paid in cash, for the last 15 years I've been reusing my needles (of course initially discartable syringes afterward pen needles). As long as it is a high quality one (I know Novo) you can change them 4-6 times a week for each pen (basal & fast). I wouldnt recommend this though on people who may have kidney damage or low defenses... But it is possible as long as u dont abuse the sharpness of the needles. A note about this? Be careful with Lipohypertrophy in case u know anyone who might still be using syringes :) [/QUOTE]
