[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 173428, member: 6681"] Hi, On a related, but slightly different note...once you are on the pump, you do still need to keep your old insulin on your prescription for "emergencies" ie, if you break your pump. My logic for what to get went like this... Wosrt time for pump to fail...at the aairport, on teh way to a fortnights holiday. Therefore, I need , at most a fortnights worth of insulin. I carry found "emergency novorapid all the time...and swap this every 2 months or so. I hat waste too...so at the moment, the nurse put both novorapid and levimir on my repeat prescription....but only 2 cartridges. I haven't actually tried to obtain 2 vial yet.../as my old "stock" is still well within date, but it appears that they can keep a small amount of prescription. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
