Baby corns. Wrong, wrong, wrong in so many ways!!
I’m in the South West of England and cannot get hold of Apidra in vials or pens. Seemingly another insulin is out of stock, don’t know which one as the pharmacy worker was not very forthcoming with information!!
I have emailed Sanofi directly regarding this issue, is anyone else struggling??
Not looking forward to potentially switching insulins!!
 
This is probably a long short but is your pharmacy a Lloyds pharmacy?
I have read a number of cases where Lloyds pharmacies are struggling with supply. I believe this is because they are closing down or transferring ownership of their stores.
If you have not done so already, it may be worthwhile trying another non-Lloyds pharmacy I appreciate this is often not convenient but Lloyds seems to be having a financial issue.
 
It was Tesco pharmacy and then I went to Preddy pharmacy and got the same response.
 
I've just had issues with a Tesco pharmacy in Bedford and their suppliers not being able to get hold of Apidra (3ml cartridges).

It's concerning if this is now ongoing

I’m in South Wales and can not get any Fiasp. Both pens and vials are out of stock, so have been changed to Lyumjev.

Today I went to collect my first batch of Lyumjev and pens/cartridges are out of stock. I have phoned around a few pharmacies and this none locally. Fortunately I have some Fiasp vials still.
