How do I dispose of diabetic syringes after I use them?

It is important that you properly dispose of a diabetic syringe after use. One way is to create your own sharps disposal basket that you can take in to a doctors office, pharmacy, hospital, or other collection sites. Sometimes, you can get your own needle destruction device which allows you to treat the needle in order for it to be considered safe for disposing. Some companies even have a mail back policy where you can ship your old needles back in a special container for them to dispose of. Lastly, there is a syringe exchange program that allows you to send in your old needles for new ones.
