[QUOTE="Serial45, post: 1813094, member: 21241"] Ok so I haven't had a chance to speak to my doctor yet... Anyways I know you're supposed to change your needle every use. But I don't I sometimes inject up to 10 times a day. I cannot even fathom having to change my pen needle once every time. I probably keep my needle on for 2-3 days. I've been type one diabetic for 20 years with no infection. I've spoke to the chemist and he says this change has come from further up the ladder.... surely there must be some alternative to this bloody single use needle. I estimate I'll go through at least 200 of these a month!! And it's a hassle I don't want to have to face when going on holiday. I thought the NHS were trying to cut back on costs? [/QUOTE]
