Where can I buy needles for insulin pens?

[AnnunciataM]

My mother, a diabetic, is arriving from overseas and rang me from the airport to say she's forgotten to pack the needles for her pen 🤦🏻‍♀️ Can she buy them over the counter at pharmacies once she's here? I'm not a diabetic myself so I have no idea and I can't see them on Boots' website. Help!

She should be able to buy them in any pharmacy. She just needs to know the needle length and type of pen she uses.

Thank you, yes she has the pen with her but no spare needles so I'll take her to Boots tomorrow. Phew!

If you have any problem getting them from a pharmacy there is a Facebook group ‘help I forgot my type 1 kit’ and hopefully somebody would be able to help you out.

I get mine at Boots.
