Hi,

For those in UK who've bought ampoules on holiday in Europe to use during holiday did you take syringes with you or did you buy syringes abroad and how did you dispose of the used ones?

I'm dreaming of a 2 week holiday on a Greek island when I feel it is safe enough but don't think I can last 2 weeks without an injection ( I need a lot more than NHS suggests).

I am not comfortable with the idea of taking syringes in luggage.
