Why You Should Replace Your Needles
Diabetes is a disease that requires proper monitoring and maintenance. The most crucial part of managing diabetes is the proper use of needles to measure your blood sugar levels. Using the proper equipment to manage your diabetes is essential to a healthy lifestyle. A huge part of managing your blood sugar levels is using needles. With industry prices skyrocketing, many have resorted to reusing needles - but this can be dangerous; why?- Needles can become dull, which causes pain and can cause you to accidentally inject yourself with the wrong amount of insulin.
- Needles can become dirty, which can lead to infection.
- If you reuse needles multiple times, they're more likely to get contaminated by bacteria or viruses that may be harmful.
