Is there some kind of ban on mentioning syringes online? I went to the Walmart site to look for ReliOn 3/10cc u100 short needle, and got zilch.

I always bought my Relion needles in person at the Wal-Mart pharmacy but some states do require a perscription to purchase needles.
 
I think you may have to go into the store to get them.
You might try www.ADWdiabetes.com - a lot of us have ordered from them and been happy. And if you have a ReliOn Confirm or Confirm Micro, they sell the Glucocard 01 and 01 Mini which is the exact same thing without a brand on it.
 
You can't order the syringes from WalMart.com so they're not listed on the website.....you have to buy them in person....I suppose this is so they can "look you over" and make sure you're not a drug user

More likely they do not what to deal with the different state requirements regarding that some states require a prescription for syringes

I've noticed that 1800PetMeds.com sells SOME syringes (and at a reasonable price). I think they sell U 40 and U 100. Hopefully that helps you.
 
I went in person last night to Walmart and got them. The manager had to show the cashier which ones. Now I can tear a piece off the box to show them next time. And point to the general direction as to where they are located. In that Walmart pharmacy, anyway. Why can't pharmacies put up pictures & prices of diabetic supplies behind the counter so people can comparison shop, and know what brands they carry? Walmart still keeps strips & meters on the shelves, but once CVS took over Target pharmacies, all that went behind the counter. Now if you go to Target, you have to know what to ask for, and you can't get any testing supplies when the pharmacy is closed. AND at the busy local Target, sometimes you have to stand in line a long time. Target lost my business after they outsourced their pharmacies to CVS.

Other kinds of products that are available in stores only are still on websites to let people know they carry that item. Possibly there's a law like the liquor stores not being allowed to advertise prices. But, now I know that Wisconsin does not currently require a prescription to buy syringes.
