Can anyone recommend a device to help those who are needle phobic to self inject? Any suggestions about types and where to get them would be helpful.

I don’t have one of these devices myself , but I have heard thar members find them very helpful. It’s called an Auto-injector and is made in Denmark Obtainable at unionmedico.com

You need to decide if you want to inject sub-cutaneously or Intra-muscularly , as they make devices for each method . The devices are described in detail . They certainly cost from about £100 . Best wishes .

The device wedgewood has mentioned helps me. You still have to load the auto injected up & press the plunger, but i hate needles & it's the only one I could find after looking for ages.

You also have to stipulate the size syringe you want to use as the unit will come with 10 syringes, then only that size syringe when you buy them in future from elsewhere will fit. Good luck.
