Using insulin pins more than once?

[Polska]

I read a FAQ that stated that slin pins can be re-used. Is this true?

[Polska]

One guy said he uses the same pin throughout the entire week. Then he switches to a new pin. I could see them not getting dull as quick but what about the sterility issue?

[angelxterminator]

thats not too intelligent. The sterility is a REAL issue there.

They are so **** cheap, why risk it?

This is both foolish and unsafe...they cost pennies and an infection can kill you, or at least seriously complicate life for awhile. Why risk it to save a dime?

Be sanitary and safe. Do not re-use needles.

There is no need to re-use the same needle, but it can be done. If done, the dangers become higher. It aint worth it.

Reusing needles is dumb, imho:
