I am a coward when it comes to needles. For a few years I have used an airgun
made by Vitajet. I have become dissatisfied with it and wondered if any of you
have comments on any other similar products. Places to purchase them would
also be appreciated. It appears that the Washington DC metro area may not have
a good diabetic supply store. Thanks in advance.

Al,
I’m curious, what are the reasons for your dissatisfaction?
I’m using a Medi-jector EZ for some of my shots, which I think is about
the same thing as the Vitajet. I am very happy with it as far as its design
goes. However, I think I’m a little too skinny for optimum results.
I find the injections a little on the painful side, and all too frequently,
I end up with a major bruise, or with a wet injection (insulin left
on the surface). I think I’ll probably discontinue its use after my
current bottle of insulin is consumed.
Want to buy my Medi-jector EZ? A real bargain!
For me, needles just aren’t that bad.
