[QUOTE="redrevis, post: 141049, member: 27435"] Hi Nigel From the information Injex provide it says: So if this is correct, tissue damage shouldn't be an issue. Also they say that the units of insulin you take must not change when switching from needles to this system and that with this sytem the insulin is actually absorbed slightly quicker than with needles. Regarding being safe over a long period of time, I have asked the company about this to see if there is any evidence either way. Just waiting for a reply. Hi Ken - With this Injex pen being the ONLY one available on the NHS as from 5 days ago, i thought this was relevant to talk about and to find out if anyone actully has success in using one. Regarding cost, i am very aware of the comparative cost between this and using needles, but if this is available then surely someone must be using them in this country? What reaons would you consider special enough to require having one of these pens? Would having mutiple sessions with psychologists to help with fear of needles be cheaper than having one of these do you reckon? I would be interested in seeing comparative costs of both. I have seen the information regarding complaints of bruising and have also seen that some people have no complaints at all. Infact one person in particular that i read about was using needles for 20+ years, then switched to this system and could not believe they hadn't switched sooner as it was so much better for them than using needles. I feel that if i could benefit from using this system then what have i got to lose in trying it? All i would need is a short trial and i'm sure i would know pretty much instantly whether it would be more suitable for me than using needles. If you felt like i do before using a needle you might understand what i mean. [/QUOTE]
