[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 1845666, member: 420515"] Yep, I am. The manufacturer has decided not to produce r500 in vials in case it is mistaken for a u100 insulin. The pens dial up the actual insulin dose so are thought to be safer. I experimented and showed my consultant I could transfer directly from the pen to the pump reservoir (640g). He says he can't tell me to do that because it's not recommended, but he's happy to prescribe the r500 pens so I can stay on the pump. (Conveniently, 1 pen = 1 pump reservoir in volume.) Transferring from a pen to a vial to the pump is 'forbidden' because the extra stage allows the possibility of contamination, or so the nhs guidelines say. If your consultant is unhappy because no one else is doing this, you can tell him there are at least two more that I know of. [/QUOTE]
