Hi, My partner like myself is Type 2. As part of her medication she injects lantus insulin every morning. She is partially sighted, a result of undiagnosed diabetes over many years despite many trips to her GP (that is another story!) and she is beginning to have difficulty in reading her pen to make sure she has the right dose. When I am about that is not an issue but my worry is that if I am not it would be difficult for her, at the moment she relies on counting the clicks. I asked my friendly pharmacist if there was anything available that would be better for her and was quite concerned that she was using the 'click method'. I am sure there must be many others in my partner's situation, injecting but has difficulty in reading the pen to get the correct dose.
Has anybody got any knowledge or experience in this. My pharmacist made some enquiries to see if there was anything available that made reading the pen easier but drew a blank. There must be something, I cannot believe this issue has not come up with either blind or partially sighted people who inject insulin.
