Some areas are more difficult to get needles than others.  Go to a
pharmacy, ask for "a ten pack of one cc insulin syringes."  They may ask
you for a diabetic I.D.  Tell them you don't have it with you but you use
"u-100 insulin."  Sometimes they will ask you to fill out a piece of paper
with your name and address.  They don't ask for proof though so you can
make up anything.  Sometimes they just won't cooperate.  Try another
pharmacy.  A ten pack only costs about $2.00.  Don't ask for anything less
than a ten pack!  No one that uses insulin would need any fewer than ten. 
Besides they only cost $2.00.

 Go to eckerds or walgreens
Here in Fl. they are 2.00 a pack and it's no questions asked. 
 But , if they ask what type of insulin you use tell them  NPH . 
If they ask how much you use.. Tell them 45 units a day...
25 in the morning and 20 late in the afternoon or early evening.
