[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 109294, member: 7788"] Hi, I'm on Hypurin Porcine Isophane for my long-acting which take in a split dose, morning and evening. I usually take an injection of Hypurin Porcine Neutral(short acting)with breakfast but not for lunch, as I tend to have a low carb one. Another one with my evening meal. That's usually 4, and sometimes 5 injections a day. I don't use pens, having had probs with them in the past, most recently with the Autopen Classic, which fails to deliver 1 unit, and found I was wasting so much of the vial on test-shots. Contacted manufacturer-didn't even get a reply so ditched it. I'm back to my favourite, if unfashionable BD 0.5 syringes. I've always liked injecting with a syringe, I can see exacly what I am doing, and can trust that I'm getting the right dose. My fear of pens stems back to when I was pregnant with my first son 19 years ago, and had a faulty novo-pen which resulted in an overdose. I phoned my diabetes consultant for advice & she phoned an ambulance for me - what service we had in those days! Old fashioned Insulin and old fashioned syringes, but it works for me! Guess I'm just an old fashioned girl(not an old one though!) :D I've never minded doing injections, but don't like taking tablets. Please reassure me that I'm not a wierdo for liking injections??!
