Yeh they were huge! I remember filling up large milk cartons with the old needles as they never used to have anything else big enough to put more than 5 in! Had to take them to the hospital to dispose off, looked a right wolley walking round with that.

LOL. I used an empty 'Cadburys Smash' mashed potato tin, took it around to the surgery to empty into their sharps container when it was full. Then the surgery gave me a sharps container, which I swapped there.

Later, and after moving, was able to get a bin on prescription, but then couldn't get rid of them ... hospital, surgery and pharmacy were all refusing to take them! My MP finally sorted it out, and good that we can now get sharps collected by local councils 🙂

Sometimes, you have to wonder who it is trying to make 'easy' things so difficult

Just for interest, my pump cannulas are 6mm, but I always use right angled ones. The ones you insert at a lower angle than 90 degrees and hence need to insert by hand rather than the inserters where you just press a button on the inserter to shoot em in, are longer as you'd expect using simple logic.
