[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2407742, member: 527103"] When I used pens (I pump now), I would occasionally reuse a needle. This was typically when I was going out and I would rather keep the needle on the pen and reuse it for my dessert jab than have to carry a needle bottle around with me to dispose the used ones in. I would [I]always[/I] bruise when I did this. OK, so I am more susceptible to bruising than many but it is enough to highlight to me that the needle starts to blunt after the first use. I have read elsewhere that one needle manufacturer has reported a shortage but there are others around which seem to be doing ok. I believe the shortage is with the manufacturer of the "smoother" needles" but I would rather a fresh rougher needle than reusing any. And I would rather use a longer needle if I had to. [/QUOTE]
