Yep I can confirm I heard a rumour so I contacted the diabetic nurse at the hospital they agreed that it was being discontinued ,in 2026 , so I TOLD them I didn’t want to get lost in the system and to change me over ASAP . nothing happened for a couple of months so I contacted the diabetic nurse who comes to the dialysis unit I’m in and hey presto I received my first new prescription this week , unfortunately the surgery gave me pre filled syringes rather than cartridges but they have agreed to change from now on .
