Today (due to the shortage of Trurapi) I start on Novorapid, my initial impression is how cheap the pens feel compared to the Sanofi ones, dial feels loose and flimsy. Used same dose 8 units with first food more to follow

I was given this as a replacement to Trurapi due to a national shortage of Trurapi, it could only be a temporary change

Hi Mark
I live about 20 miles from manchester and have an independent chemist and he has been struggling to get certain things.
He said the only chain that has remained stocked up is Boots.
This is his opinion and only mention it in passing.
When trurapi came out only certain regions of the country changed prescriptions for patients as it was cheaper for the NHS.

I'm about to change from Levemir to Tresiba and my chemist said he could get the pen fill cartridges ok but not the other version.
Thankfully i use a novo pen.
