Trouble finding pen needles

[depressed in 06]

I am having problems finding Pen Needles. I have been to all the Walgreens in the area. Is anyone else having problems?

The responses in the past usually fell along the lines of "Google search is your friend". But Google is not our friend.

It’s a hypodermic needle that attaches to a pen-like container. Usually for insulin or other diabetic medications.

Walmart sells them over the counter, in boxes of 50.

Pen Needles are for diabetics to inject insulin.

Ultra fine needle used for insulin injection.

Thanks.

Try both Kroger and Walmart. Also, have you checked your glucose levels lately? I suspect your levels are either extremely high or extremely low and you are not thinking clearly.

Thanks.

Digging into Google, it appears that a “pin needle” is a type of diabetes needle.
Thanks for asking, cause I would never have known.

Re: "Pen needle"

I looked it up.

Very tiny needles for diabetics who must inject.

No syringe - just a pre-loaded low dose pen shaped device.

I was thinking of needle bearings, so check a auto parts supply or maybe Pervis Bearing.

I know the feeling, especially when I’m getting low.
Are you also having problems wit the supply of Lantus cartridges too?
I use OptumRx for my prescription supplies and have the same problems.

BTW you can fluctuate the needle length from 4mm, or to 5mm, to 6mm. all in 30-gauge pen needles.
I find BD pen needles good. Just have your prescriber write the prescription like tat or have the pharmacist call your doctor for the changes in length.
