Objective: To analyze the rate of reuse of syringes and needles and identify the practices of disposal of sharps by insulin users. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted with people diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus at a Reference Center for Diagnosis and Therapy in the Midwest region of Brazil. Secondary data from medical records and consultation forms were used. Differences in proportions were estimated by the chi-square test, considering p < 0.05. Results: The rate of reuse of syringes and needles was 94.9%. There was a high prevalence of reuse of syringes and needles by women, people aged over 60 years, with less than five years of schooling, and more than 11 years of diagnosis. Most users discarded needles and syringes in domestic waste. Thus, self-care practices of people with DM regarding the reuse and disposal of sharps are not safe and may favor complications. Conclusion: Althoughdemographic and clinical characteristics had no association with reuse, efforts should be directed towards health education practices, taking into account the person's context, socioeconomic condition, educational level, and active role in the follow-up treatment.
