[QUOTE="copepod, post: 1175618, member: 21372"] In January 2016, I turned down my consultant's offer to change from Humalin I, which has suited me fine for nearly 20 years, taking 2 injections in each 24 hours, to Toujeo, which is far more expensive and only available in disposable pens. He seemed amazed that anyone would care about cost to NHS and environment. He asked me why I was bothered as I wasn't paying and said he'd never had anyone include environmental concerns in their decision about insulin. I did say I was open to reviewing my decision if Toujeo became available in cartridges in reusuable pens and if the price to NHS dropped. [/QUOTE]
