| No, you won't get diabetes because of that... But i'd suggest your girlfriend use either an approved sharps container or some other container hard enough for the needles to not pierce through, or use a real needle cutter that can be gotten from BD if she really wants to cut the needles. The real needle cutting things can hold over 1000 needles safely.
