Hello all,
I'm newly on a basal-bolus regimen here...
i've been doing rather well until the past few weeks, dealing with an ongoing dental infection and as many of you know, infection means much more insulin is needed... i'm surely going to run short of my novorapid before my monthly renewal is due. My DSN said my pharmacy should be able to provide insulin to tide me over until my renewal.. As i've only been on this treatment a short time and suddenly finding i need more due to infection (which i get often, if theres something going around, i get it)... so my question is have any of you dealt with running short before your prescription renews and how have you dealt with it? I have 2 pens of novorapid left. I'm thinking what I need is an extra pack of pens full stop to deal with my inevitable "i caught this and that" that would leave me short when otherwise it would be fine... any advice?
