Baby corns. Wrong, wrong, wrong in so many ways!!
I’m in the South West of England and cannot get hold of Apidra in vials or pens. Seemingly another insulin is out of stock, don’t know which one as the pharmacy worker was not very forthcoming with information!!
I have emailed Sanofi directly regarding this issue, is anyone else struggling??
Not looking forward to potentially switching insulins!!

This is probably a long short but is your pharmacy a Lloyds pharmacy?
I have read a number of cases where Lloyds pharmacies are struggling with supply. I believe this is because they are closing down or transferring ownership of their stores.
If you have not done so already, it may be worthwhile trying another non-Lloyds pharmacy I appreciate this is often not convenient but Lloyds seems to be having a financial issue.

It was Tesco pharmacy and then I went to Preddy pharmacy and got the same response.
