Insulin Pen Needle Injection Aid

[Romulusguy]

I'm switching to a Gansulin pen, but I've gotten really accustomed to the V3 pen shield that conceals the needle. I went ahead and bought these Insulin Pen Needle Injection Aid because they appear to essentially be shield attachments for any pen that doesn't have one. Anyone here used them before? Once the aids and the pen show up, I'll post my own review.

The safety pen needles I rely on are the BD Autoshield Duo. Once the shot is done, the needle gets concealed on both ends, which removes any chance of needle exposure

Alright, my current top pick for pen needles is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTCYS69M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

A very near runner-up — these tips also perform really well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZGPYCLM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Normally I'd reach for a regular 32G 5mm pen needle, but these do the job equally well and are ideal when you want the needle concealed.

The other day I happened to check out those TickleFlex tips. A few of my pen needles feel somewhat pokey. The pen needles I use come from a different brand than the heavily hyped EasyTouch, so I picked up a box of those instead to find out whether it changes anything.

Since I have a lot of stretch marks, completely concealing the needle isn't something I want. Aiming becomes too difficult that way.
