Lantus: spotted a trend.

Yup. Got renamed as Insulatard.

Makes sense.. I knew it as insulatard (though hated the name.) with the green removable sticky strip on the box that could be afixed to the Novo pen to identify the contents..

I only ever had it in vials, but i remember the yellow sticky strip on the Actrapid box

This is really interesting post and something i will be keeping track of from now on (thought it was in my head).

I take 12 units Levimer a day so takes me a while to get through a pen and it definitely becomes less effective the older it is.

Thanks

It would be great to compare notes on this whatever MDI basal used.!
I even welcome views from those with no issue.? Though storage methods help regarding a general overview on this topic..

Cool idea. Though they did fade after a while. But it was just a case of replacing a new one from another box!

I never used them as I only had one pen... well maybe once just to see

You can be amazed at the time that can be shaved off selecting the bolus when "on the run" with those ID stickers.. Lol

I will definitely be keeping track over the next couple of months.

Once started I keep the pen out of the fridge and in my bag (I work away a lot so keep constantly chilled not practical)

Will update with results as I have them
