Yes, I believe Novolog is the vial, and Novolin is the pen?
As with  Humalog, and might be spelling it wrong, its called a quick pen
Tressiba is  Flex touch?
Anyway, it messes with us, when we need to reorder, check our insurance coverage etc.

Hi there,

Things could have changed, but 15 years ago when I used a pen,, it was also
called Novolog. And now I have a pump but still use Novolog, which comes in
a vial, and I draw into my reservoirs. I assume Novolin is just another type
of insulin; I don't know if it's long lasting or fast acting. Novolog and
Humalog are fast acting insulins that you typically bolus with.

Oh no ladies!!  I?ve been getting Novolog in the pen for years now.  Definitely prefer the novolog and Humolog pens to the Humolin.  Never worked for me.

Novolin is just a different type of insulin. Novolog comes in both the pens and vials, and I know, because I've been using Novolog for years. I used to use it in a pen, and for 16 years now, I've had it in vials to use in my pump. I assume Novolin is also a fast acting insulin for bolusing.

I just don't wish to pay over $300 any more for a pill.

They tried to give it to me in the hospital when I had my knee replacement and could not get my sugar down below 300. I was hot!! So, I called my husband to ask him if he would bring in my medicine bag with my own things in it. I talked the doctor into letting me do it because I was mad about my sugars. They actually let me do it and the hospital let me manage my own diabetes.  The day I was discharged, my sugar was down to 132 hours after I had my breakfast.

Hi all,
Thank you all so much for your messages and sharing your experiences.
I tested the Omnipod, Medtronic, and Tandem T-Slim pumps with my
diabetes educator, and we're going with Medtronic! Medtronic was
easiest for me to use (and most like how I operate the Animas). The
Omnipod's screen wasn't big enough for me to read it with
magnification (I could probably do it with my phone, but it's easier
to use the small handheld one I'm used to). The contrast on the T-Slim
was better than Medtronic, but I kept messing up when I was trying to
operate the touch screen. I kept having to touch it, take my hand
away, look at the screen again with magnification to make sure I
hadn't made a mistake, then backing up and doing it again when I'd
pressed something incorrectly. It seemed like there was too much room
for error and it would take forever to operate. Also filling the
cartridge seemed tricky. As long as the brightness is turned all the
way up I could navigate the Medtronic okay, and I think filling the
insulin will be easier than with the Omnipod or T-Slim, so I think
it's the right decision.
It's great to know the Dexcom app is accessible! Insurance won't cover
the Dexcom G6 until June, so we're waiting a few months to add that. I
think that's good; then I can get used to a new pump first. I still
feel a little anxious about having to switch, but I think once I get
the hang of a new pump I'll feel more excited. Thanks again for all
the support!

Alyssa

Hi Alyssa. So good that you got to get your hands on all of the pumps and could pick what looks like it would work for you. I look forward to hearing your experiences. I'm always a bit nervous about switching pumps because the motions and sequences get so ingrained in my brain. So, a pat on the back for taking care of yourself and being a savvy consumer. 
And you heard June on the G6? Man, those dates are just all over the place right now. Anyway, good luck; enjoy the journey and please keep us posted.
Veronica

Hi all,
Thank you all so much for your messages and sharing your experiences.
I tested the Omnipod, Medtronic, and Tandem T-Slim pumps with my
diabetes educator, and we're going with Medtronic! Medtronic was
easiest for me to use (and most like how I operate the Animas). The
Omnipod's screen wasn't big enough for me to read it with
magnification (I could probably do it with my phone, but it's easier
to use the small handheld one I'm used to). The contrast on the T-Slim
was better than Medtronic, but I kept messing up when I was trying to
operate the touch screen. I kept having to touch it, take my hand
away, look at the screen again with magnification to make sure I
hadn't made a mistake, then backing up and doing it again when I'd
pressed something incorrectly. It seemed like there was too much room
for error and it would take forever to operate. Also filling the
cartridge seemed tricky. As long as the brightness is turned all the
way up I could navigate the Medtronic okay, and I think filling the
insulin will be easier than with the Omnipod or T-Slim, so I think
it's the right decision.
It's great to know the Dexcom app is accessible! Insurance won't cover
the Dexcom G6 until June, so we're waiting a few months to add that. I
think that's good; then I can get used to a new pump first. I still
feel a little anxious about having to switch, but I think once I get
the hang of a new pump I'll feel more excited. Thanks again for all
the support!

Alyssa

Hi everyone. 
Okay, this is getting stranger by the day. Talk about the right hand not
knowing what the left hand is doing! Wow!
I just received a call saying that I was scheduled to receive complimentary
supplies until they straightened out the Medicare process. They'd be sending
me supplies at the end of the week. Ummm, don't tell me I'll get a third
receiver! I kept trying to point out that someone had gone through the
Medicare bit with me and told me that I'd be contacted to order my next
batch of supplies. I just can't figure out if this group knows what the
other group did. She said I may not receive email notification, but I did
for my first so-called Medicare order. So, did all of my angles land me in
pay-off? I did say that they should have had a plan for those of us who were
already on the G6 before Medicare changed our lives. She gave me her number
to call next month when I need supplies. Okay, there's just only so much I'm
going to fuss about here. After all, I did tell them that if I were running
their company, I'd give me some free sensors for my agrivation. This is
starting to get almost comical. 
And the bottom line, I'm sure glad to have this. Stay tuned! Film at 6:00.
Sensors at 11:00, or was that tomorrow at 5:00? <grin>

Allisa,

Congrats things are going well so far. Did you go with the Medtronic 530G, 630G or 730G? Medtronic is more similar to Animas than other pumps on the market, but still has it's own individual way of doing things.

Personally, I find the Medtronic reservoirs challenging to fill; actually, every sighted person who has helped me, including my nurse educator, my local Medtronic rep and a few family and friends really struggle with filling it. They are hyper sensitive to air bubbles, so caution there. With Animas, I usually filled my own with no problem, but since I can't tell if there's air bubbles or not, I'm not comfortable filling the Medtronic reservoirs myself.

Honestly, there's not really any training with Dexcom other than inserting the sensor and attaching the transmitter, which your nurse ed or a Dexcom rep should train you on, but both the G5 and G6 are easy, the G6 particularly easy. Otherwise, once you have the app set up, there's no training.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Bridgit

Veronica,


I sure hope they follow through with their intentions. I am going through a similar issue with Dexcom and my new insurance, Humana. I am also doing a review for how my insulin is paid for, since Humana is filing it through part B since it is being infused by a pump. Therefore, instead of costing me $131, it was going to cost me almost $500. I told them that that was a ridiculous price that I have never had to pay ever in the past and could they please figure something out. They have sent a request for some kind of special authorization from my doctor and will put it through their clinical review to determine the end result.

As for Dexcom, I have yet been told that my order that I started processing on March 4 is able to be shipped yet. My last transmitter is about ready to expire, and I have nothing to use after it is dead. It is not Dexcom?s fault though, it is all of the Medicare hoops that I have to go through. As of March 26, Dexcom said that they finally have all of the needed documents on file from my doctor. However, they now have to submit a request for A request for approval which my doctor signs, faxes it to Humana who then approves it and then let Dexcom know that they can ship my order. I can?t be upset with Dexcom, since they are just following the Medicare and Humana guidelines. I sure hope I don?t have to go through all of this when I need my next order. I do understand that I have to notify them when my transmitter gives me it?s three week warning, so they can send a warranty request to my Doctor Who then Hass to complete a form that goes back to Dexcom and then to Humana for approval. Isn?t that the craziest thing you have ever heard? Anyway, I guess I can?t complain, since I do have insurance.

I just don?t understand how they can charge so much for insulin. It is a life ? saving necessity, so how can they expect someone to pay so much for a vial of it? What do people who don?t have insurance do?

    Jamie

Jamie,

In the last decade, insulin has gone up by 500% and even as much as 1000% in some cases. Legally, pharm companies are able to charge this much if they want, and it's up to our providers how much they cover. But if the increase is 500, 700, 1000%, obviously even good coverage will still leave us with astronomical amounts out-of-pocket. It's bananas and should not be allowed, but there we go...

Veronica,


I sure hope they follow through with their intentions. I am going through a similar issue with Dexcom and my new insurance, Humana. I am also doing a review for how my insulin is paid for, since Humana is filing it through part B since it is being infused by a pump. Therefore, instead of costing me $131, it was going to cost me almost $500. I told them that that was a ridiculous price that I have never had to pay ever in the past and could they please figure something out. They have sent a request for some kind of special authorization from my doctor and will put it through their clinical review to determine the end result.

As for Dexcom, I have yet been told that my order that I started processing on March 4 is able to be shipped yet. My last transmitter is about ready to expire, and I have nothing to use after it is dead. It is not Dexcom?s fault though, it is all of the Medicare hoops that I have to go through. As of March 26, Dexcom said that they finally have all of the needed documents on file from my doctor. However, they now have to submit a request for A request for approval which my doctor signs, faxes it to Humana who then approves it and then let Dexcom know that they can ship my order. I can?t be upset with Dexcom, since they are just following the Medicare and Humana guidelines. I sure hope I don?t have to go through all of this when I need my next order. I do understand that I have to notify them when my transmitter gives me it?s three week warning, so they can send a warranty request to my Doctor Who then Hass to complete a form that goes back to Dexcom and then to Humana for approval. Isn?t that the craziest thing you have ever heard? Anyway, I guess I can?t complain, since I do have insurance.

I just don?t understand how they can charge so much for insulin. It is a life ? saving necessity, so how can they expect someone to pay so much for a vial of it? What do people who don?t have insurance do?

Hmmm, guess I'll have to make some phone calls because I'm getting mixed
messages here. I thought that insulin for pumps used to be covered under
Part B but was switched to Part D coverage. This morning my endocrinologist
said the opposite and that she'd just done the paperwork for another
patient. She said that since the pump can't function without it, it should
be covered under Part B, but pharmacies hate the paperwork. Like I said,
question time again, I guess. 
Thoughts? Thanks.

Yes, they are trying to billet under part B just for that reason. However, you pay a heck of a lot more for the Enslin under part B. That is what I am appealing with my insurance company. I want them to consider it under part D.

 I'm having my own strange issues with Dexcom. Supposedly I have an
order for sensors already processed but they are waiting on some
doctor's form. Although my Doctor has yet to see said form. Now, I
just filled out a form online for Medicare, and it looked like it had
to be reviewed and was a totally separate order. Which confuses me,
because I already had an order in process. I guess I'll find out what
happens. It'd be nice if things were a little more clear and straight
forward.

Hi Jamie,
I am getting my Dexcom G6 transmitter from Costco because it is cheaper than from Dexcom.  It is only $26.88 from Costco and they can order it and have it to the store in 1 day.  I am still paying cash for my Dexcom products because I am also waiting for Medicare approval and I did not want to stop using the Dexcom G6 CGM.
Warmly, Joy

Hi Jamie,
I am getting my Dexcom G6 transmitter from Costco because it is cheaper than from Dexcom.  It is only $26.88 from Costco and they can order it and have it to the store in 1 day.  I am still paying cash for my Dexcom products because I am also waiting for Medicare approval and I did not want to stop using the Dexcom G6 CGM.
Warmly, Joy

Veronica,


I sure hope they follow through with their intentions. I am going through a similar issue with Dexcom and my new insurance, Humana. I am also doing a review for how my insulin is paid for, since Humana is filing it through part B since it is being infused by a pump. Therefore, instead of costing me $131, it was going to cost me almost $500. I told them that that was a ridiculous price that I have never had to pay ever in the past and could they please figure something out. They have sent a request for some kind of special authorization from my doctor and will put it through their clinical review to determine the end result.

As for Dexcom, I have yet been told that my order that I started processing on March 4 is able to be shipped yet. My last transmitter is about ready to expire, and I have nothing to use after it is dead. It is not Dexcom?s fault though, it is all of the Medicare hoops that I have to go through. As of March 26, Dexcom said that they finally have all of the needed documents on file from my doctor. However, they now have to submit a request for A request for approval which my doctor signs, faxes it to Humana who then approves it and then let Dexcom know that they can ship my order. I can?t be upset with Dexcom, since they are just following the Medicare and Humana guidelines. I sure hope I don?t have to go through all of this when I need my next order. I do understand that I have to notify them when my transmitter gives me it?s three week warning, so they can send a warranty request to my Doctor Who then Hass to complete a form that goes back to Dexcom and then to Humana for approval. Isn?t that the craziest thing you have ever heard? Anyway, I guess I can?t complain, since I do have insurance.

I just don?t understand how they can charge so much for insulin. It is a life ? saving necessity, so how can they expect someone to pay so much for a vial of it? What do people who don?t have insurance do?

Hi Veronica,
I just had the transmitter sent there.  The Dexcom sensors were a few dollars more than Dexcom.  My other prescriptions are at my regular pharmacy.
Warmly, Joy

Joy, did you have to transfer all your prescriptions over to the Costco pharmacy or just the Dexcom? 
And Doula, that's an understatement. They need to be a lot more clear. Sheesh! Good luck with yours.

Hello Listers,

About 5 years after I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic. I guess I was about 9 or so. I got my first insulin pen and it was a mix of 70/30. They have been doing it for a while. I have now been diabetic for almost 31 years, so it?s been about 26 years or so.

 Apparently whatever they needed from my doctor made it through.
Because my original order that I was waiting on has been shipped. Now,
who knows about what happened with the Medicare form I filled out
online yesterday that supposedly started another order. I seriously
doubt Medicare would pay for two orders in one month. The next thing
I'm feeling really nervous about screwing things up is I'm changing
doctors. My endo who I've had since I was a kid is retiring. Which I'm
very sad about. I've been assured that the doctor I'm being moved to
will be really good for my complicated needs. Anyone had experience
with changing doctors while being with Dexcom? If not, I guess I'll
find out how attrociously they deal with that situation.

Changing doctors shouldn't matter as long as companies have current scripts
on file.

Hi everyone.
I was just wondering if any of you have updated the Clarity app recently. I
sure like the improvements. Yay! I really like being able to truly read the
time in range section, finally. This is kind of fun.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] NFB Legislative update
Message-ID: <07e701d4f079$e2d70b40$a88521c0$@gmail.com>

Dear Fellow Federationists:
We are off to a terrific start in the 116th Congress. We have four bills introduced: The Transformation to Competitive Employment Act in the House and Senate and the Access Technology Affordability Act, also in both the House and Senate.
Please call your representative and two senators and urge them to cosponsor these two bills if they have not already done so. A complete list of current cosponsors is included at the end of this email. A summary of the two bills follows.
Transformation to Competitive Employment Act House - H.R. 873 - Sponsored by Bobby Scott (D-VA-3) Senate - S. 260 - Sponsored by Bob Casey (D-PA) These bills would phase out Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act over a six-year period, at which point the provision would officially be sunset.
Access Technology Affordability Act
House - H.R. 2086 - Sponsored by Mike Thompson (D-CA-5) Senate - S. 815 - Sponsored by John Boozman (R-AR) This legislation removes an employment barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount of $2,000 to offset the cost of these technologies.
When you call or email, you might say something like the following:
"Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a constituent of [your senator/representative]. I live in [city, state]. I am calling to urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor [S. 260 for Senate calls/H.R. 873 for House calls], the Transformation to Competitive Employment Act. This bill would phase out subminimum wages for people with disabilities over a six-year period, at which point Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the provision that allows this practice, would be sunset. I urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor the bill.
I am also calling to urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor [S. 815 for Senate calls/H.R. 2086 for House calls], the Access Technology Affordability Act. This legislation removes an employment barrier commonly experienced by blind Americans who cannot afford the high cost of access technology by creating a refundable tax credit in the amount of $2,000 to offset the cost of these technologies. I urge [your senator/representative] to cosponsor the bill.
Thanks."
You can contact your member of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard and asking for the office in question. The number is 202-224-3121. If you email your representative or senators, please copy Gabe Cazares at gcazares at nfb.org<mailto:gcazares at nfb.org>.

This is a question for Bernie, the elected DAN President.  Bernie:  Are you encouraging people to leave this NFB list in lieu of a FaceBook list?  I do not think people who do not moderate this list should be encouraging others to leave the list in favor of the FaceBook list.  I for one refuse to try and track both lists.



Cordially,
Michael D. Barber

Good morning Mike:


As a matter of fact, I?m not encouraging or discouriging one way or another.  I, myself don?t have the time for social media that some do.  I think that Bridget is merely trying simply to announce the availability.  I don?t have time for both myself.  As the elected president,  the call volume has increased over the years.  Although it?s a good problem to have, there?s less time for social media.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Having trouble with Libra sensors
Message-ID: <517C1266-F68E-43DC-9D04-B7A53435450F@gmail.com>



Sent from my iPhoneHello everyone,

I have a 14 day Libra system. I have been using it for about 2 months now. I absolutely love it! I feel it has been a huge game changer for me.

Anyway, I have been having problems with my last few sensors, after putting them on. I am totally blind, so my aide helps me put them on. We do this every 2 weeks, on a Monday.

Well, 2 weeks ago when she went to place the sensor on my left arm, it would not stick, or stay in. Within an hour, it came out of my arm. I called my provider, and they had me call the company who offers the Libra. My sensor was replaced. The next 1 worked as it should have. Just as they had before.

Well, ever since I got my sensor placed this morning, it isn?t wanting to stick right. It is on the back side of my right arm. Half of it wants to come up. And when I bend my arm, I can feel a small poke from the needle. I don?t feel that this sensor will last for 2 weeks, much less 2 days.

Do you all have any recommendations?
What the heck could be going on?
I don?t understand why this could be happening.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you,

Terri

You definitely should not be feeling a polk from a needle. It is certainly possible to get a bumb batch of tape though, so I'd suggest you just contact FreeStyle every time you get one of these. But just in case, make sure you've used alcohol On the area before applying the sensor. And let it dry, really dry. That will help the tape stick. If you're already doing that, if it weren't that you mentioned feeling the needle I'd suggest some patch overlays you can get that would help hold the tape one. Another thing is to make sure you don't get into water right after inserting the sensor. Most of this tape needs a few hours to cure and settle in. But again, if you're feeling movement, chances are your readings may not be accurate. So barring other brilliant thoughts, be a pest. And then do let us know.
Good luck.

Well, 2 weeks ago when she went to place the sensor on my left arm, it would not stick, or stay in. Within an hour, it came out of my arm. I called my provider, and they had me call the company who offers the Libra. My sensor was replaced. The next 1 worked as it should have. Just as they had before.

Well, ever since I got my sensor placed this morning, it isn?t wanting to stick right. It is on the back side of my right arm. Half of it wants to come up. And when I bend my arm, I can feel a small poke from the needle. I don?t feel that this sensor will last for 2 weeks, much less 2 days.

Do you all have any recommendations?
What the heck could be going on?
I don?t understand why this could be happening.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you,

Terri

You didn?t put lotion or anything on your skin before doing the sensor, did you?
I found that even though I cleaned the area with alcohol, if I put lotion on that area a few hours before, it didn?t stick as well.

But just in case, make sure you've used alcohol On the area before applying the sensor. And let it dry, really dry. That will help the tape stick. If you're already doing that, if it weren't that you mentioned feeling the needle I'd suggest some patch overlays you can get that would help hold the tape one. Another thing is to make sure you don't get into water right after inserting the sensor. Most of this tape needs a few hours to cure and settle in. But again, if you're feeling movement, chances are your readings may not be accurate. So barring other brilliant thoughts, be a pest. And then do let us know.

I'm totally blind myself and place my sensor on without sighted assistance. I do use Dexcom, but my understanding is that the Dexcom and Libre sensors are similar. First, rub with an alcohol swab on the area before placing the sensor. Even if you have just showered, it's recommended to use an alcohol wipe. Second, you might need to use an overlay which is medical tape with a hole in the middle that goes on top of the sensor to keep it secure.

I don't have the  Libra system, but I do use the Dexcom  and I have found that there is basically like a thin tacky thing that was recommended to me from the Dexcom trainers.  It is used in the hospital when they insert a needle in your vein and it seals and is clear so people can see thru it.  I went toCVS and asked the pharmusist if they had anything.  They did help me find something that they carried on their shelves that worked for me.  I can't use a lot of the tapes, but what they recommended did the job.  

If you have contact information for the makers of Libra system call them as Dexcom will rush out replacements for things that don't work properly.

Hello,

 

I am on Medicare Part B and need prior approval from Medicare to get a Free
style Libre. This is proving to be a difficult task. What did any of you
specifically have to do to get approved by Medicare? 

 

Also, for those of you paying privately have you found any ways to get
discounts on the sensors?

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

Jeanette

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you to everyone who responded to my message and questions. I really appreciate this. I apologize I hadn?t responded sooner. But I don?t always think to check this email account. I need to switch accounts with this list.

Anyway, I was able to contact Abbit. Not sure I spelled this correctly. But they did replace my sensor with no problems.

I am not sure why this other sensor would not stay in place. Part of the sticky stuff was still quite sticky! Also, I hadn?t showered before applying the sensor. And I did clean the spot on my arm with an alcohol swav, and gave it time to dry. And I don?t use lotions or anything like that.

I couldn?t find the type of medical tape that someone kindly mentioned. But I did perches some from Walmart. I haven?t needed to try it out yet, which I am happy about.

Right now, my sensor is fitting quite well. Just as it should. So I am hoping that it will continue to stay this way.

Thank you again for the help and support. It is very much appreciated.

Terri

 and being in the doughnut hole
Message-ID: <29B52B07-825B-42B8-951A-D7DE032B9AAD@gmail.com>

Hello once more everyone,

I don?t know if any of you might have any thoughts or ideas. But I figured it couldn?t hurt to ask.

My boyfriend has Medicare. I believe his drug coverage plan is with Signa. I feel I am remembering this correctly.

His diabetes specialist has him on Triciba. I apologize for any mis-spellings.

Anyway, this is his 2nd time trying it out. He was on it a couple of years ago, before he had Medicare.
Well, he has unfortunately ended up in the doughnut hole. Now in order for him to purchase the Triciba, it will cost him around $250. Of course, he can?t afford this.
However, he has tried other insulins in the past. Such as Lantis, Novolin, and 1 other I can?t think of the name of. The docotr, and my boyfriend feel that the Triciba, along with Metformin, and Humalog, work best for him.
She does also want to add Trulicity to the mix. But again this isn?t an option, because it?s going to cost about $200 a month.
My boyfriend is concerned that while he is in this doughnut hole, that the prices could possibly go up. There is no way he can afford either of these at the prices they currently are, anyway. The 1st month he got the Triciba, it was only $6.

So I was wondering, does anyone know if he might have any options?
Are there any companies out there that can possibly help him off-set this cost?
I know a lot of those coupon types of programs are not an option for him, due to him having Medicare.
so what might he be able to do, if anything? He really needs this insulin. If not, his quality of life does go down. But we don?t know what to do.
We live in the state of Missouri, if knowing this is helpful.

Any thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri

Hi Terri,
I use Treseba and I love it.  It has helped me a lot with getting better coverage.  I also fall into the donut hole ( black hole) and I know it will come each May or June.  
I would suggest call and see if his Doctor will give him sample pens and call the manufacture for either extra pens or coupons to use at your pharmacy.
Good luck, Joy

I have never used the insulin pens and would like to know what the smallest
dosage is that can be taken with one injection. If the amount differs
between insulin types please list the smallest long acting and smallest
short acting.

Currently I am using Humalog with a pump and am aware of the increment
selections with this device.

Hello,
On my long lasting pen I can do as little as one unit. I can do the same on my short acting pen. I do believe there are pens that can let you do as little as a half a unit but I have never used one of those.

It's been almost 20 years since I used a pen, but I used Lantis and Novolog,
and both dialed up at 1 unit for the smallest dosage.

I use Humalog quick pen Junior, and you can do .5 per dose. 
Medicare RX seem to not want to cover the junior, and now not even the
Humalog.. so I am starting a battle for coverage. Unfortunately, with our
new system I probably will have to yearly!

It often depends on the type of Insulin you are using and how it is dosed.
For example, if you are taking it to make sure you are covered for a meal,
those units will differ from the long-acting ones that you might take for
example at bed time.

Some of the smart pens I saw at the recent conference I attended dosed in
half-unit increments and they weren't called junior or anything special.
They are apparently often used by pump users who want a break from the pump.

Hi Verlyn,

I take insulin through pens both for short and long acting. I use disposable pens, as opposed to the pens into which you fit a cartridge.

Each pen will dispense in incraments of one unit.

Cheers,

Ed

Good morning.


Since you?re already using thye Novolog, You?ve got nothing to worry about.  They all pretty much work the same.  There?s one thing you need to be made aware of, however.  And, this is with the Traseva Insulin.  This is a 24-acting insulin.  One ?Click? on the Traseva pen is equivalent to two units of the insulin.  I discovered that the hard way.  I kept having some serious lows and for about three days, couldn?t figure out why.  I asked my husband, who is sighted to help me figure it out.  What do ya know, he was the one who discovered it.  Then I called my Endo?s office to make them aware what had happened over the weekend.  Even they didn?t realize what they had done.  So, one thing I would suggest is that before you leave your doctor?s office with any sample pens, that an office staff go over that with you?  

Warmly,

Bern.

Wow, I have been on it for a few years and this is the first I heard this!  Guess I am taking twice the dose  prescribed.
I'll get more help with what I have and talk to my doc.
I tend to take a similar amount of daily fast acting and my pens run out pretty close to the same time, so this was never  a question, and pens are similar in size.

My Pen is just one click for each unit of Treseba.  I have verified it with my Doctor.

Subject: Re: [Diabetes-Talk] insulin pens

Good morning.


Since you?re already using thye Novolog, You?ve got nothing to worry about.  They all pretty much work the same.  There?s one thing you need to be made aware of, however.  And, this is with the Traseva Insulin.  This is a 24-acting insulin.  One ?Click? on the Traseva pen is equivalent to two units of the insulin.  I discovered that the hard way.  I kept having some serious lows and for about three days, couldn?t figure out why.  I asked my husband, who is sighted to help me figure it out.  What do ya know, he was the one who discovered it.  Then I called my Endo?s office to make them aware what had happened over the weekend.  Even they didn?t realize what they had done.  So, one thing I would suggest is that before you leave your doctor?s office with any sample pens, that an office staff go over that with you?  

Warmly,

Bern.

Did your doctor actually look at the pen, because Bern's saying her doc told her the same thing but was wrong. I would ensure someone is checking visually and not just assuming. I would ask the doctor if they are actually looking at the pen when they give you the verification.

I've had docs tell me one thing about a script and dosage, only to have the pharmacist tell me something different, and the pharmacist has been correct every single time.

Just saying.

My Tresiba is 1 unit, I had it checked and am sure I would have been warned going from Lantis 1 unit per click to Tresiba 1 click and same amounts.
My sighted friend  was too heavy handed  and clicked it right to 2 units, I took it back and showed him 1-2-3...
He did say however the vial in the pen shows 2 unit increments.
But each click should be just 1 unit per. Call your doctor, Diabetic educator  pharmacist or the company that makes Tresiba  if you are in doubt.\

Wouldn?t you know, there are two kinds of Tracy Byrd pens. I?m sure most people have the one unit click. However. Wouldn?t it be me. I would be the one to find out that I have the other one. I don?t know how many of us do. But there are two kinds of Tracy bar pans.

BD Ultrafine is not just for Lantis. I actually use it for Victoza as well,
and there are no contraindications.

Does anyone know what is the best needle to use with humolog? I know the B D
ultra fine is to be used with lantus only. Angela

It probably works fine, but I've noticed since they no longer offer the novo
fine needles,might have name wrong,  the lesser expensive ones.. I have a
couple different ones don't feel as good of a fit, but they all seem to work
fine.

I think it might be a larger pen. I was thinking about this and there is 2 different sizes based on how much is in the pen. Which might very well  assist with those who take larger doses?
Either way, Good to know what it is one is using!

Wouldn?t you know, there are two kinds of Tracy Byrd pens. I?m sure most people have the one unit click. However. Wouldn?t it be me. I would be the one to find out that I have the other one. I don?t know how many of us do. But there are two kinds of Tracy bar pans.

And, this is with the Traseva Insulin.  This is a 24-acting insulin.  One ?Click? on the Traseva pen is equivalent to two units of the insulin.  I discovered that the hard way.  I kept having some serious lows and for about three days, couldn?t figure out why.  I asked my husband, who is sighted to help me figure it out.  What do ya know, he was the one who discovered it.  Then I called my Endo?s office to make them aware what had happened over the weekend.  Even they didn?t realize what they had done.  So, one thing I would suggest is that before you leave your doctor?s office with any sample pens, that an office staff go over that with you?

I actually don?t have a problem with any of them. I tend to like the 31 gauge. The ultra fine.

I've never heard that you can only use certain needles for certain insulins.
And I used to use Lantis and Novolog pens.

Bridget, like you, I?ve never heard that either.  I?ve been doing these pens since the 90?s.  And, whatever pen prescribed for me at any given time, I?ve used the same pen needles for everything.

 That's one I haven't heard myself. I use both Lantis and Victoza, and
both pens take the same needle. I've never been on any of the fast
acting type of insulin, but I'd imagine if the pen is similar, that
the same type of needle could be used.

Are you trying to order needles for an injectable medicine, or lancedts for
checking your blood? I can send you the exact names of the needles I use,
but you may actually need a prescription for them.

For the insulin pens, you will probably need a prescription for the needles that go with them. I have never been able to find them anywhere else, just as a prescription.

Not from amazon do I need a doctor to say yes.
This is for the novolin pins.

Okay, what I'm saying is this: Some companies will only send out "needles"
with a prescription, even on Amazon. And as far as I know, the Novolin does
not have "pins" that you stick yourself with. Perhaps your problem with
getting the right order is related to what you called the item you ordered,
and you should order patterning off of the name of the original "needle" you
got previously.

Just as an aside, we had this with a dog food order at one point. We could
find the product on Amazon but without a prescription on file the company
would not let us buy it.

Hi everyone!
Well, maybe some of you are ahead of me on this one, but this morning I got
brave and was pleasantly surprised. Today was my day to change both the
sensor and the transmitter for my G6. I had used Seeing AI to read the
codes. I entered the sensor code manually and when it asked for the
transmitter serial number, for some reason, I just decided to try the "take
photo" option. And what do you know? It worked. Let's see if I can describe
what I did. If you check out the new boxes, on one side, there is one of
those pull tabs to open the box. Stand the box on the table so that it's
resting on that side. So it feels like the box is standing on a long side.
When you double tap the take photo option, just hold the phone over the top
long side. There's no camera sound but it will just talk and take you to the
screen where it says insert sensor now. Man, it would be nice if it always
worked like this. 
Hey, some of us are easily entertained. Just thought I'd share.

Either lancets or syringes or needle tips for pens can be purchased without
scripts, but you can also get a script from a doctor too.

Dar, do you need needle tips for your insulin pen? A pharmacist can help you
find the correct product at the pharmacy. Just explain that you need a
needle tip for your insulin pen. They will know exactly what you need.

Are you trying to order needles for an injectable medicine, or lancedts for

Grant it, it's been about 15 years or so, but when I used pens, I didn't
have a script for the needle tips. Usually my pen came with a few, but I
purchased a big box of them right where diabetic supplies are. Nowadays they
may keep needles behind the counter, but in the past, I could purchase them
without a script from any pharmacy. But perhaps things have changed.

For the insulin pens, you will probably need a prescription for the needles
that go with them. I have never been able to find them anywhere else, just
as a prescription.

Dar,

Do you mean the pen itself or the needle tips? For the pens, you definitely
need a script. But for just the needle tips, in my experience, you do not
need a script, but you can ask your doctor for one too. You would not be
able to purchase the actual insulin pens from Amazon, but you can possibly
buy the tips; but I'm not entirely sure about this. You probably should go
to a pharmacy and ask a pharmacist who will know; or ask your doctor.

Not from amazon do I need a doctor to say yes.
This is for the novolin pins.

Hi everyone!
Well, maybe some of you are ahead of me on this one, but this morning I got
brave and was pleasantly surprised. Today was my day to change both the
sensor and the transmitter for my G6. I had used Seeing AI to read the
codes. I entered the sensor code manually and when it asked for the
transmitter serial number, for some reason, I just decided to try the "take
photo" option. And what do you know? It worked. Let's see if I can describe
what I did. If you check out the new boxes, on one side, there is one of
those pull tabs to open the box. Stand the box on the table so that it's
resting on that side. So it feels like the box is standing on a long side.
When you double tap the take photo option, just hold the phone over the top
long side. There's no camera sound but it will just talk and take you to the
screen where it says insert sensor now. Man, it would be nice if it always
worked like this.
Hey, some of us are easily entertained. Just thought I'd share.

Bridgit, I know when I had the Acucheck meter I had a particular lancet
holder which only used one type of Lancets. The pharmacy that supplied me
would not even let me buy a box of 100 without a script, as they said that
the rules about how many needles or lancets we could have per number of
strips was being strictly monitored. It is sometimes surprising that Amazon
can do such a great job in filling in the gaps when insurances limit how
many times we can test, etc. It continues to be a puzzle to me as to why so
many people make it so hard to allow us to monitor our health properly.

Grant it, it's been about 15 years or so, but when I used pens, I didn't
have a script for the needle tips. Usually my pen came with a few, but I
purchased a big box of them right where diabetic supplies are. Nowadays they
may keep needles behind the counter, but in the past, I could purchase them
without a script from any pharmacy. But perhaps things have changed.

For the insulin pens, you will probably need a prescription for the needles
that go with them. I have never been able to find them anywhere else, just
as a prescription.

Dar,

We are just trying to clarify what you mean. In a previous post, you asked
about if Amazon can sell Novolin pens, which does not make it clear if you
meant the actual insulin pen or the needle tips. Everyone wants to help you,
we just want to make sure we understand exactly what you mean.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] insulin pens
Message-ID: <90714af9.759f.4f84.ae53.41cf172226c3@samobile.net>

I have bought needle tips for years from amazon never having doctor 
involved, I could get as many boxes as I wished.
We paid for our own tips.
Thanks,
Still wish to get off list, if I ask more questions I would not want 
anyone to miss understand.
Thanks

Dar,

No problem asking questions, and no problem asking for clarifications. In
order to give anyone the best answer/advice, we all need to understand any
question being asked. You yourself ask frequent questions, which is
perfectly okay and we all should do when trying to gain understanding. No
one meant anything by asking except to clearly understand what you meant.
Just a few weeks ago, you said how much you enjoyed this list. I hate for
you or anyone else to not have this list to turn to for support, questions
and networking. Please know that the spirit of any questions asked in
regards to your original post was to clearly understand what you meant. It
was not clear, so we wanted to make it clear. We all can sometimes state our
questions in unclear ways, and to best answer, some of us need
clarification. Nothing personal, grin.

Bridgit

Wow!!!  Far out!!!  You?re braver than me Honey!!!  I?m still afraid of trying it without Bill being around.  

My sensor came right off as I was drying off as I came ougt of the shower  early this morning.  Had to put on a new sensor two days early.  And I had done the overlay thing too.  That?s never happened to me before.  I?m oging to call Dexcom and at least let them know.  

Have a grest day!!

My husband is also blind, so I'm used to having to do these things completely without sighted assistance. I tried Seeing AI to read the transmitter code last time, but it wasn't working well, so I just used AIRA. But once you input the transmitter code, the app keeps it, so if you need it for any reason, which you do if ordering a replacement sensor, you just go find it on the app.

I'm still using the G5 for right now, so not inputting the sensor code, but can't wait to do this with the G6!

Definitely order a replacement sensor if it came out before the day you're due to change. It's super easy, and tech support is great. I've had to do it twice now.

That was what made playing with the take photo function so fun. Nobody was around except my dog. <grin> 
When I first got the G6, the camera just wasn't finding the serial number and it kept timing out. But I figured that I'd begged enough and since the app was updated, what did I have to lose? Maybe next time I'll try the sensor for the fun of it. I was always able to take the photo of the transmitter serial number on the G5. Back then I couldn't get Seeing AI to do anything useful. I'm just enjoying having options.

My husband is also blind, so I'm used to having to do these things completely without sighted assistance. I tried Seeing AI to read the transmitter code last time, but it wasn't working well, so I just used AIRA. But once you input the transmitter code, the app keeps it, so if you need it for any reason, which you do if ordering a replacement sensor, you just go find it on the app.

I'm still using the G5 for right now, so not inputting the sensor code, but can't wait to do this with the G6!

Definitely order a replacement sensor if it came out before the day you're due to change. It's super easy, and tech support is great. I've had to do it twice now.

My sensor came right off as I was drying off as I came ougt of the shower  early this morning.  Had to put on a new sensor two days early.  And I had done the overlay thing too.  That?s never happened to me before.  I?m oging to call Dexcom and at least let them know.  

Have a grest day!!

What did they do for you when you spoke on behalf of the cencer coming off.

Speaking of cencers,
I have a test on the eighth where I am told not to wear any kind of metal.
Is the cencer any metal at all.
Or should I not wear it until all of this is over.?
Upper GI and lower well you know the rest giggle.

Dar,

We use Dexcom, so not sure what Libre's protocol is, but with Dexcom, if a sensor comes out before its change date, you just call tech support, and they will send out a new sensor.

For medical procedures like MRIs, yes, you need to remove the sensor. I'm not as familiar with Libre, but with Dexcom, I know you remove the entire system, sensor and transmitter.

The libre manual does indicate there are metal parts in the sensor. It also indicates it can not go through any x-ray machines.

I just contacted Dexcom before an x-ray.  They said any procedure involving magnetism (MRI and CT) require you to totally remove the sensor and transmitter.  For a simple x-ray, I just wore the lead apron over it.  I did the same for my mammogram.  I'm pretty sure the upper and lower GI series don't use magnetism.

Dar, I might call Abbott. I know there are some protocols for replacing sensors when they fall off. I am not sure if needing a test such as yours would qualify but it is worth asking, since it involves the sensor coming off before it's actual scheduled time. They should also be able to tell you if there is metal in a sensor.

Good luck.

Jeanette

Dar,

We use Dexcom, so not sure what Libre's protocol is, but with Dexcom, if a sensor comes out before its change date, you just call tech support, and they will send out a new sensor.

For medical procedures like MRIs, yes, you need to remove the sensor. I'm not as familiar with Libre, but with Dexcom, I know you remove the entire system, sensor and transmitter.

What did they do for you when you spoke on behalf of the cencer coming off.

Speaking of cencers,
I have a test on the eighth where I am told not to wear any kind of metal.
Is the cencer any metal at all.
Or should I not wear it until all of this is over.?
Upper GI and lower well you know the rest giggle.
