Is there anything available

bobismad · Mar 20, 2015

My mum is partialy sighted and insulin dependant, she has a tendancy to 'bend' the needles on her Novopen, I was wondering if anybody knew of either a sheath or product that may help her keep pen upright or stop her bending the pen when it is inserted, she is nearly 70 and still wants to be as indipendant as possible....

Any ideas greatly welcomed

Bob

Hi @bobismad,

I will bump your post up to see if anyone can help.

Have you tried ringing Diabetes.org.uk Careline

"Our Careline is a support helpline for anyone with diabetes, their friends, family and carers.

How to contact Careline
Call: 0345 123 2399*, Monday–Friday, 9am–7pm.

Email: careline@diabetes.org.uk"

The only other organisation that I can think of that might be able to help is RNIB, they have a helpline.

"Our helpline is ready to help you with any enquiry, you can get in touch by:

phone 0303 123 9999 (Monday to Friday 8.45am - 5.30pm)
email helpline@rnib.org.uk
Helpline contact form
social media, such as Facebook and Twitter
writing to RNIB, 105 Judd Street, London WC1H 9NE."
