I have NO idea why I decided to check the Medco site this afternoon, as they said they weren’t sending until January 23, but I did. Not only did it show it was on it’s way, but it had a UPS tracking number that said it was delivered. I called, husband answered, and sure enough it was there, he just tossed the whole thing in the fridge.
The pens are interesting. The 120 pen is set to give two doses, 60 units and 120 units. It also says you can put it in either the abdomen or the thigh. I think I like the thigh. The needle goes in much better — I do think that stopper dulls the needle, and even though it was a dose after a prime, it didn’t burn until the very last of the push. Thus it is MUCH less painful.
I’m going to use up all my vials (I have around 4) at the house, and keep the pens for traveling about town and at school until I’m out of vials.
The pen does not take up less space than the vial, but the pen needles are easier to deal with. I do need to find a disposal method for the needles themselves. I do have some of the needle holders, so I am going to try to snag more.
