Humalog Kwikpens keep breaking

[amj789]

Hi-does anybody else have problems with the Humalog Kwikpen? In the last 4 boxes ( 5 pens per box), at least 1 in every box has stopped working. Every time the same type of problem-I turn the wheel to measure the dose and it stops clicking and just locks in place- so totally unusable.
At times-it has also happened whilst injecting-locks and wont go any further. Last time it happened-it was the last pen in the box and had to get an emergency prescription...It really suits me so I don't want to change types, but fed up of it happening.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

I've been using kwik pens for almost a year, at the rate of about 1 for 9-10 days. Never had the problem you've described (touch wood) although I had a batch that were stiffer and not so easy to operate.

Hi . . .

I also use Humalog, but my prescription gives me this in the standard 3ml cartridges, which I can load into my own injector pen or just use with a disposable syringe. If it's the Insulin which really suits you? you can continue to get this without the Kwikpens.
