Are some brands better then others ? I am not all about saving. A smoother push and or sharper less pain tip?

I am running low and I get too upset (and downright mean) when a pharmacy profiles me as a possible drug abuser. Need to order soon.

Your pharmacy should know you are diabetic since you also have a prescription for insulin. If they are acting like there is an issue with you getting syringes you really do need to speak to the pharmacy manager because if they are doing it to you they are doing the same thing to other diabetics.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - A diabetic trying to buy syringes says a trip to the Brook Road Walmart turned into a nightmare that nearly jeopardized his life.
Jacob Fleming says the pharmacist made assumptions about him and refused to sell him syringes he needed for insulin. NBC 12 On Your Side talked with both sides of the complaint. https://www.nbc12.com/story/34450528...macy-calls-12/




Anyway I get my insulin from diabetic friends who have insurance and plenty of extra.

Lantus and Humalog from pharmacy would be about $600.

My one diabetic buddy "diabuddy" got me a fresh vial by breaking an empty vial then going back to the pharmacy and claimed he dropped the brand new one he just got on the tile floor.

It sounds dishonest but where is the honesty with the people who manipulate patent law and charge $300 for something that cost like $7 to manufacture?

I am not paying $600 a month to those big pharmacy thieves for something that cost them $14 to make. Its like a new car payment or a small mortgage, why should I buy those sleezy people a car?
