Using insulin needles safely helps prevent infection, injury, and accidental needle sticks. Here are the key recommendations:

For safe use;

Wash your hands before preparing and injecting insulin

Use a new sterile needle for every injection

Reusing needles can make them dull, increase pain, and raise the risk of infection or tissue damage

Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thighs, upper arms, or buttocks) to help prevent lumps or thickened skin

Do not share needles, pens, or syringes with anyone, even if the needle has been changed. This can spread blood-borne infections

Avoid recapping the needle after use if possible. If you must recap it, use the one-handed "scoop" technique to reduce the risk of a needle-stick injury

For safe disposal;

Place used needles immediately into an approved sharps container

Use a puncture-resistant, leak-resistant container with a secure lid

Keep it out of reach of children and pets

Do not throw loose needles into household rubbish or recycling bins.

Do not flush needles down the toilet

When the sharps container is about three-quarters full, seal it and dispose of it according to your local community or healthcare provider's instructions
