I am now on Humalin 1, and I am hoping that some of you are too. All is well, however, my Husband and I have noticed an 'odour' of garlic. indoors, has anybody else noticed this? We don't eat or cook with garlic, but the smell is really strong, sometimes.
 
Injectable insulin does have a fairly unique odour but I suspect that likening it to garlic is subjective.

For me, it reminds me of hospitals. Maybe that's the stabilising chemicals they put in it.

Do you have fields/woodland etc nearby at all? If so then its possible there is wild garlic growing close by, trust me that stuff smells SO strong it can stink out a bus with its windows open if it just drives past xx
