Hello All,

Does anyone still use a glass syringe for taking their
insulin? If so, please email me. I have never used one,
not even seen one in person up close. I have been a
diabetic for 32 years, started on U-40 disposible
syringes. I remember my uncle who was also a diabetic used
glass syringes, but I think he gave those up for
disposible ones too.

If anyone still uses a glass syringe, email me. I know they
still make them because I have seen them on a couple of
manufacturers' sites.

Thanks, David [email hidden]

If you wanna switch, i hear you can get them from feed
stores and such sometimes in the country, as farmers use
them for their cattle. They are not supposed to be
expensive, but are VERY time consuming. You have to boil
them for hours and have to buy separate needles. Plus, some
places require an Rx, and they are nearly impossible to
bring into courthouses and onto planes, etc.

Yes, I had looked here too. But most of these places sell
huge needles and nothing smaller. I do not want to switch
totally, just would like the option to use occassionally
while at home, etc., not while travelling or in a hurry.

Thanks, David
