[QUOTE="Incidentals, post: 1461237, member: 79068"] I am a do it your selfer... problem solver to trade... [B]so do not do this unless you are absolutely happy with everything. [/B] I am a Novopen 5 user and also need lantus... loving the Novopen 5, I worked out why the Lantus did not fit and amended the system to suit. (1) the lantus cartridge is a bit thicker (2) the screw top is missing (built into the lantus pen) (3) the lantus cartridge is shorter the solution is simple, [B]but be warned it suits me, but maybe not everyone[/B] (1) remove label from cartridge (2) use a screw top removed from a nova rapid cartridge (they pop off easily) (3) find the coloured ring used to identify your electric toothbrush head Put the now naked, screw topped cartridge into the Novopen5 holder, then insert the coloured ring, finally twist the holder into the pen body as usual and hey presto a novopen 5 the fires lantus Part of the label can be fed through opening in the holder as you build the unit up or write lantus on the glass with a perminent marker if you must. works great and you can colour code the pens to suit blue for Nova Rapid an silver for Lantus [B][SIZE=6]Remember, It works for me and it's your choice to do this hack if you want to, no one is saying this is right or a good idea.[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
