[QUOTE="Marfmama, post: 501695, member: 65570"] Similar problem for me; a while ago I had a batch of dodgy insulin pens, I was turning the dial to the amount I needed then it would get stuck and wouldn't push down to release the insulin - as a result I ran out a lot sopner than expected, went to pharmacist with my repeat prescription, she said it would take 4 days, I said I was fine to wait for all thw other stuff but needed novorapid that day as had none to take at all, she lectured me on being more prepared, I explained about the pens all being faulty, she didnt believe me, said I could cope by just increasing my novorapid doses the next day! Im.not good with confrontation so came home and burst into tears (it had been a long day ha!) My boyfriend took my dodgy pens and stormed off to the pharmacist. Came back with a new box of levemir for me. Then when I went back to pick up all the other bits on my prescription 4 days later all they had was 2 boxes of levemir for me!! Argh!! I said noooo what about my needles and strips and novorapid?!?! Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
