I'm not a diabetic or anything else that needs to use needles regularly, so I can only vaguely imagine the economic downsides of only using a needle once. Especially when your insurance doesn't cover them.
But this picture kind of freaked me out and would me make think twice: https://i.imgur.com/Sh8lteI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Sh8lteI.jpg
It shows microscope pictures of a needle after 0, 1, 2 and 6 reuses.
- asudosandwich 8y agoThank you for that. I re-use them myself - I justified it as a harm-reduction technique because I test and inject myself more regularly then. This will make me take the extra effort.
