To make you smile...

I hope this works!
This is my toddler today after finding my insulin pen in my bag...

Wonder how many times he has watched me do it? And I bet you can guess where I usually inject!

I hope you don't mind me saying this but I would always remove the needle from my pens if there was a chance of a toddler playing with it. The possible consequences are too scary.

No of course I don't mind you saying! He only ever touches it if I am supervising, otherwise it stays on a very high shelf!

Golly... o_o;;

I always remove my pen needles now after the explanation about insulin crystallisation that happens, but usually put the used ones in my kit bag so I can dispose of it in a sharps bin later... I'm usually quite good for putting stuff away but I can't say I've always remembered.

I have had one of my nephews get hold of one covered pen needle before that I left on the side for a few moments... and he shove it up his nose! XD Thank gawd I usually put the over cover on straight away - his grin may not have been quite as cheeky otherwise!

I used to leave needles on cos Diabetes nurses told me to! I now know it's a bad idea. You really shouldn't let a child play with your pen. even if you're supervising, it's easy to get distracted, phone ringing, doorbell, even a hypo could make you less vigilant than usual. Not worth the risk.
