Insulin pen

smithyg17 · Apr 16, 2020

Hey, I’m desperately looking for some help/advice.

I am on lantus insulin and my pen is almost about to break where I screw the needle on to. (See picture).
Could anyone tell me where I can get a replacement pen as not had a new one in at least 10 years and it isn’t on my repeat subscription.

I'd give my doctor or diabetes nurse a call for an emergency prescription.
Make sure you'll get prescribed an extra pen as well in case you lose or break one!

@smithyg17 I unfortunately can't help. I see your pen. My Lantus pens are grey and purple, 100units/ml.
Would you be in a different country?
Good solution from @Antje77 . Might be worth also, going to Pharmacy. If they know you, may be willing to give you a pen, pending prescription.
