More information about insulin

What should I do with my needles and lancets when I have used them?

Always dispose of them in a special sharps disposal bin and not in your normal rubbish bin. 

Sharps disposal bins and needle clippers are available for free on prescription (some countries might not have this service, check with your health care team) and are designed to keep people safe As needles can harm someone.

What happens when my sharps disposal bin is full?


Each country will have different arrangements. please speak to your diabetes team to find out what you need to do.
