Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2659076">There has been plenty of information about this - Diabetes UK has been <a href="https://www.diabetes.org.uk/professionals/tresiba-flextouch-shortage-2023" target="_blank">reporting</a> the shortage of Tresiba PENS since May. I am surprised your doctor has not been on the ball with this and prescribed the (far superior) reusable NovoPens so you can use cartridges. Unless you have dexterity problems, I am always surprised when environmentally unfriendly, flimsy, simplistic single use pens are prescribe as default and hope this is an opportunity to update people to the more robust pens with reminders of your last dose on the top and free space in fridges as the cartridges take up far less space. If your doctor was on the ball, this (enforced) upgrade should not cause delays in your prescription and enable you to continue to self-manage.</blockquote>
