[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 991486, member: 94348"] Hi, Juicyj, one possible idea - is tresiba, or can it be, prescribed in a vial in the UK? If so, what about using a 0.3 ml syringe? Before the pump i never used pens - did not like them, did not feel they were safe for me. I Liked to see exactly what i was drawing up. The syringes only hold 30 units, if you were filling past 20, going to a full syringe of 30 would be difficult to do, and you would definitely notice. (Even in the unlikely even of your not noticing, the max mistake would be 10iu.) After the injection, tick a notebook or record elsewhere what dose you have had, and dispose of the syringe by snapping off the needle and cap at the same time (to reinforce the fact you have had the dose in your mind.) The problem, as i see it, is that dosing can become so automatic over the years that mistakes can happen without be-safe rules. I am on the pump now but i still have be-safe protocols. e,g. i have set the max bolus to 3. I know i can check bolus history, but i prefer to prevent any mistakes, and if i need more i just have another bolus. [/QUOTE]
