insulin pen

May be a stupid question Can I switch my insulin cartridge into a different insulin pen if I’ve already started using it? Basically I’ve misplaced my normal pen, I have spares but the one I grabbed first is really old and I’d prefer to use one of my newer spares, but I had already injected...

This is like the 3rd time (in a row) this has happened to me now, I’ve only used half of my Novorapid short acting insulin pen, and it now has particles and threads in the insulin when I shake it. I’ve used it and injected arojmd 13/14 units, for it to have no effect on my glucose (currently...

Hi guys, I'm in my honeymoon period and recently got my hands on an ECHO pen which has been great to give half unit doses where it is appropriate. The only issue is with giving bigger doses, I try to use a chart with holes in from DSN. When I inject I try to be straight into the skin and hold...

Hi guys im on novorapid but currently the one I have goes up in 1 unit ive text my diabetes nurse to ask about getting a half unit pen as I'm on 1:15 carb ratio and quite often have to round up or down which isn't ideal but she's not replied (shocker) does anyone know if there's any other way I...

Hi All! I'm a T1 Diabetic of 30+ years. I don't have a pump for a variety of reasons (let's just say it's not a good option for me) so I use pens. At the moment I have the HumaPen Luxura HD from Lilly for my bolus, which allows you to dose in half units as I'm very sensitive to insulin. My...

Hello, some time ago I've seen an insulin pen that used 1ml syringes instead of pre-dosed cartridges, but I can't find it anywhere now. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I placed a new needle and gave my shot earlier and I noticed after no leaks on the site but on the pen needle. Tiny drops keep appearing so I was unsure to remove it. Usually there's a tiny speck but nothing after. Did I screw up my dosage and it'll mess with my BS? Or the pen or needle is...

Hi, Anyone using Medtronic's iPort advance? What's your verdict? My son has been feeling discomfort since he started insulin a year ago, so this should make things better, but it is quite expensive. Anyone with any experience care to comment? Best

I am product design student designing a product to help store insulin at the correct temperature in hot climates/summer time (Like a cool bag or Frio bag but hopefully better). I have created this survey to try and work out which features are most important to people and would be grateful if you...

I am a product design student from Loughborough university and have chosen to design a storage device for temperature sensitive medicine (basically redesign a cool bag) for my final year project. I have created this survey to help me do user research for the project and would be very grateful if...

Greetings everyone, I was very recently diagnosed with Diabetes 2 in hospital. I have been PreDiabetic for 16 years since I suffered a major stroke back in Y2K, then after a chain of events in September, I finally fell off the cliff. I must say at 58 this is the biggest change for me in...

Hello, As the summer is coming soon and I live in a very hot climate where temperature can get up to +40C, i have my doubts on how to keep my insulin pen (that has been taken out of the fridge ) in the recommended room temperature - max up to +26 - +28C. I was thinking on getting the Frio...
