[Diabetes-talk] 2008 Insulin Pen Resolution & Novo Nordisk

[Everett Gavel]

Good work, Mike.  Thanks for letting us know.

It's pathetic that such ignorance abounds - in people that are let to lead
not just companies, but various levels of governments as well.  Ridiculous.
It's right up there with saying women shouldn't have been able to vote, or
that blacks are lesser people than whites simply because of the color of
their skin.  Such absurd ignorance is amazing - and yet so prevalant still
today.

As Dar mentioned, Mike, can we help, and if so, give us some details please.

Strive On!

Fellow Blind Diabetics:

I have made contact with personnel at Novo Nordisk, one of the
pharmaceutical companies whose insulin pens carry that odeous warning that
insulin pens should not be used by the visually impaired except under the
supervision of a sighted person. I will let you know next week how it goes;
we have been exchanging telephone messages and I now have an email address
so that I can send the resolution and an explanation.
