[QUOTE="smidge, post: 234322, member: 29301"] Hiya! That's interesting what you're saying about the Apidra pens. I use a Lilly pen with the Apidra cartridges and that works very reliably. However, I use a Sanoffi-Aventis Clickstar pen with my Insuman Basal, and i'm wondering if that is reliable on small doses. Sometimes when I discharge 2 units, it dribbles out and I have to do it two or three times to get a good shot of it. I then use either 4 units (morning) or 1 unit (night) and the results have become unpredictable. I have changed the Insuman cartridge as I think it gets less predictable as the cartridge drops below half full. My next step is to try a new pen. It could, of course, be that my diabetes (LADA) is progressing, but I'm not sure at the moment. Fallenstar - how are you getting on with the Novo pen? Which one do you use to get half units? I'm asking as I think my Apidra stocks might not make it through to March :( Smidge [/QUOTE]
