[Diabetes-talk] lantus solostar

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I use this Lantis pen.  I recently changed over to it per my  doctor.  The 
reason for the change was I was using the Opticlick pen and  using 2 different 
types of needles between my Lantis and Novalog pens.   total confusion for my 
prescription coverage.
 
Now with the new pens for novalog and Lantis I only need to use 1 needle  
type for both of these new pens.  I have had no trouble with the use of the  
pens.  They do feel similar, but have different shape tops on both of the  pens.  
I had a sighted person tell me which is which and I am careful when  using it 
to replace them in unique places so I can tell them apart.
 
When I started off using both of them I accidentally switched them and took  
the wrong insulin.  As soon as I realized there was a difference in touch  and 
a possibility of mixing them up I had my dear husband help me identify   the 
2 of them.
