I just read in another forum that I frequent besides Diabetes1 about a woman pleading for help, as she had just injected herself, and the needle had remained in her stomach - ouch!  This has never hapened to me, but I guess there is a first, especially with the way products are mass produced these days (take for instance the recall of Medtronic infusion sets this summer).

Of course, lots of people giving her advise.  Mine of course was and a few others -  "Why write about this in a forum? You should go seek medical attention RIGHT AWAY!!!"

"Accusure Insulin Syringes. All syringes, regardless of lot number, are subject to this recall. These syringes were distributed between January 2002 and October 2009 to wholesale and retail pharmacies nationwide (including Puerto Rico). The syringes in these lots may have needles which detach from the syringe. If the needle becomes detached from the syringe during use, it can become stuck in the insulin vial, push backinto to the syringe, or remain in the skin after injection. Consumers who have any Accusure insulin syringes should stop using them and contact Qualitest at 1-800-444-4011 for reimbursement.
