LovelyBoricua replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"I take more than one insulin aswell, Lantus & Humolog. I was told by my diabetes educater that its ok to mix them. idk if its different depending on the type of insulin though.."
Leah replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"I pretty much use them until either the numbers have worn off or when it's too hard to poke through the diaphram. Until then, they're still fair game. Lancets? Gee, I think I'm still using the one I changed out in 2007... ;-)"

Zolar1 replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"I use one per shot. At $13/100 they are cheap enough to toss them after a single use."
Joyce replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"I use 1 syringe for about 4-5 shots... So basically 1 syringe a day, which I shouldn't do. I only do it for convenience"

cchelms replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"This sounds like me. I've been using syringes for 30 years and only used one syringe for one dose for, like, the first couple of years. Since then, I've been using syringes until they get dull and start to hurt or bruise my skin - usually…"
Zolar1 replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"That is because you had it with you. Try leaving it in your vehicle on a hot summer day with the windows rolled up. For about 8 hours should do it. At 140F insulin will spoil in a hurry.
Freezing - just one quick episode of freezing spoils it."
Bec replied to ryan's discussion 'how many uses per syringe for you?' in the group Needle Diabetics"I've become accustomed to back mule life, especially now that I have a toddler...I was diagnosed in my teens so I've always had something (knapsack for school, same in university, then purse/bag of some kind, diaper bad, on and on...), not…"
