Thank you was just a little worried about them

What are your concerns about the lantus pens jacko3469 , were you previously on the lantus cartridges?

Before moving to a pump I was using the Solostar Pens, they were fine but did have a couple jam which isn't great, plus they aren't as robust as regular (cartridge type) insulin pens as I'm sure you'll find out yourself.

Same thoughts here. I prefer cartridges but can't get them here.
They are a bit more flimsy than my humalog cartridge pen. Sometimes I don't trust it but it's all I've got haha
