[QUOTE="Mrs of type 1, post: 533376, member: 84279"] My husband was told by his Diabetic nurse that he can use the same needle for a day ( 4 Novarapid injections) but to use a new needle every time for the Lantus, she wouldn't prescribe more needles so he has been using the same needle twice, he's had no problems yet but I always thought you should have a new needle every time to avoid infections and the needle going blunt. She said there was no need and I had been reading too much on the internet! I think it's a way for the NHS to save money. [/QUOTE]
