No issues execpt small injections with a pen is very strange.

I'm with you on vials & syringes. I did change from Lantus to Tresiba so had to go onto a pen but at least I know from my experience I will not go that way for my short acting as it will not work for me. Hopefully it is just a manufacture issue than moving away from vials.
