The BD give them free in the SS, I use them 8mm, I don't like 5mm, they break capillaries.
I have once bought them in pharmacy because I forgot on a trip and about 20eur the box.

If you are tired already, you have nothing left, I have been clicking 4 times/day, and I am only 30 yearsYou are going to prick, I use 8 needles, a shorter tad than I used before and shows.

Hello.No one has asked you and I think it is important, because in the past we used a twenty -time needle, I used the same needle as long as a ball lasted ... you use a needle every time, right?And if you are thin, above all, mejos needles of 4 or 5 mm.There are recent studies that anticipate 8mm.In fact, in Andalusia they changed them a couple of years and social security, except for specific cases, no longer gives those of 8. I have found this article that may interest you: Link

To me with those of 5 or 6mm I find it a lot to cross my skin and hurt me more than those of 8mm.
En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

hello!I have been clicking 5 times a day and it costs me more every day.
If the needle nails the first I have no problem but that only happens one in ten times, the other nine seems that my skin opposes resistance and then my terror returns to the needles and I cannot nail it.
My hand begins to tremble and even hurts more, as if I was scratching inside !!You are all the day fearing the next meal and have to click again !!
A drop of blood always comes out and Marquita always leaves me, just one point, but there are so many already !!
I use 4 BD needles that I buy myself and even so.I am desperate, I am type 1, not to click is not an option, but if I still go crazy.
I do nothing but read that people do not hurt !!
As I go to the doctor to tell him that I can't do something that everyone does.
It will seem nonsense but it is depressing !!
Thank you!
I sent you through several places.I don't know if my information or comment comes to you.

Well, I use the 4 and sometimes if it hurts, everything depends on where I put it on, it usually hurts more in the buttocks.
I am starting and I understood that a pinch had to be taken to prick and the other day they told me to click directly, without pinch.How do you do it?Use 5mm needles

Well, I use insulin pen and they told me that direct without the pinch
I don't dare to try!I have bought the novofine needles but I did not find 4 or 5, here only those of 6 are marketed and although they give more impression the truth is that it costs less to nail it, as they enter more easily and with hardly any pain, although I have only tried it inThe belly, but I can at least the fast I can put it with a little tranquility.I want to start in my arms but I am very thin and I have no fat I don't think I can do it so easily.
They taught me here with Pellizco.I also don't have much fat and I prefer it

In vertical, direct.They are small needles, I have tried 4, 5, 6 and 8mm that are the ones I use.Of the BD brand, for me the best.
The pinch I use for the heparin that the needle is very long and is indicated.

With pinches in thigh and gut.In the arms without pinch because I don't know.In my ass I do not usually prick, but I do without pinch for the same thing in my arms.
