- Insulin :(
Since being diagnosed been on various medication metformin gliclazide now insulin after being diagnosed type 1 . Had nothing but issues with my doctors mucking up prescriptions. On metformin they kept giving me a quick acting variant which plummeted my bs reading when in fact I needed a slow release version. In hospital on new years they had me on lantus and humilog F/A but doctor prescribed me lantus and humilog mix 25 effectively giving me two lots of basal insulin with a piddly amount of fast acting.
It has taken me almost 10 days from leaving hospital and numourous visits and phone calls to the doctors to get everything sorted went to the pharmacist today to pick up my first lot of insulin to find that yet again they have given me humilog mix 25. It wouldnt be as bad if I could pick up my prescription from the doctors and then get it filled at a pharmacist as it give me chance to check that its right at the doctors before leaving but it takes 2 days to get it prescribed by a doctor a day to get it sent to pharmacy then another day to get it ordered in as its not something that they stock. They wont go back to old system each time I get a repeat prescription I have to pick a pharmacy to get it sent to.
Most annoying thing is that now I have 5 humilog mix 25 pens which cant be used and will be chucked. Yet many other members are having issues getting test strip and lancets monitors and this is just money wasted that can be better spent elsewhere
