No, they are single use and the needle will have retracted so can’t insert again once you have activated it.

Should have clarified. It’s a syringe not pen. Didn’t even know there was a pen option ha

Sorry! I’d check with your nurse, but if you do it again straight away I’d guess there's no risk.

You may blunt it a little so technically you should put a new needle on, but it probably wouldn't be a problem actually. This is just from my experience of having to give insulin injections in res care in my previous life. Check with your nurse though just to put your mind at rest.
