In many states, syringes can be bought without a prescription. I live in Arizona and that is the case here.
U-40 vs U-100
See my notes here about U-40 vs U-100 insulin and syringes.
Total Diabetes Supply is where I regularly bought Teddy’s syringes. As you surf the internet, you’ll see that prices vary all over the place. I saw prices as high as $60 for a box of 100 syringes. At Total Diabetes Supply, I paid $15 for a box of 100.

Re-Using Syringes
You can re-use syringes. Most diabetics do. However each time you use a syringe it loses a little of its sharpness. My own personal feeling: If I were giving myself injections, I could tell when the syringe got too dull, and so I might re-use them. Since I’m using them on Teddy however, I have no way to judge. Therefore Teddy got a new syringe for each injection. Given that the online cost of syringes is about $15 for a hundred, I can aford to not reuse them.
Syringe Disposal
You are going to need a way to safely dispose of used syringes. Every pharmacy carries these BD Sharps containers. They are about $4.
