[QUOTE="redrevis, post: 141032, member: 27435"] Hello again I am one of these people who has a hightened fear of needles compared to 'normal' people. I have been diagnosed with type 1 for about a week and have been injecting 4 times a day. When i had my initial meeting with my DNS i asked her about the Insulin Jet system as i had already researched types of insulin administration beforehand. She hadn't heard of it and had no information for me. She actually asked me to provide her with any information i could find and she would look into it for me, great! This is what i have found: There used to be the Mhi-500® and SQ-Pen® systems available on the NHS, but as of 10th June 2010 they have been removed from the drug tarrif. The only insulin jet system now available on the NHS is the Injex Pen. www.injex.com I have tried to attach a brochure for the Injex Pen and it's instruction manual, which gives a lot more information regarding it's use, but PDfs seem to not be allowed, so i've uploaded them. Here are the links: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/injex-brochure http://pdfcast.org/pdf/injex-instruction-manual [color=#FF0000](How come i can't use [url] code? mods?)[/color] Here is a quote from an email to me regarding the Injex pen from the Assistant General Manager at Injex: [quote]We manufacture the latest technology for needle-free drug injection, called the INJEX Needle-Free Medication Injection System.
