[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2360397, member: 475037"] I had heard there "might" be a syringe shortage as they were focused on syringes for the vaccines. But then they said don't worry about it, it won't happen............................ You know that can just mean sometimes that they don't want a run on supplies half the time. I have not seen any shortages or heard of any here in the states at all though. In fact I have boxes of 5/8 inch insulin needles I don't know what to do with. I gave some extra supplies to my DE here, but she didn't want the syringes as everyone has switched to pen needles or pumps. There is a small amount of us type 1's on the island. I would expect a lot of type 2's and some use insulin but I guess they are on pens too. But before my pump I would get sent a 3 month supply at a time, plus I always had a 3 month backup so when I switched I had extras. It's easier to reuse pen needles obviously because of the contamination factor but with care can be done. [/QUOTE]
