Reuse single use pen needles?

Does anyone reuse the "single use" disposable needles for insulin
pens? I've used some up to 3 times, but replace after that.

more as long as it doesnt hurt.

That was my determining factor, when it hurt. The 3rd use is usually
the first time I can feel it, the few times I've tried 4 uses it
stings. Maybe I'm just a wuss, but I'm still having just enough
difficulty injecting that I don't want to add even the slightest
discomfort to the mix.

Leslie I agree with you. I really dont understand how Ted is able to
use one of the needles for a month. If I use it too long, I turn black
and blue, Ted can you explain how you do it.

Live and learn some things from the experience of others.
