A couple of weeks ago I managed to mistakenly inject my basal dose using my Humalog pen...
It was an interesting evening.
It set me thinking that I would never inject more than say 9 units of Humalog in one go. For a high carb meal I might perhaps need more, but it would be a split dose.
So wouldn't it be great to be able to set a maximum dose? It shouldn't be too difficult to design a pen to do this.
It would have stopped my mistake as I wouldn't have been able to set such a high dose.
I'd go as far as to say it's a health & safety issue - especially with idiots like me around!
