Mike,
 I would hope that  those of us using pens might also be able to add, in a 
written response or what, specifying our ability to use and maintain control 
using the pens?
 I use the humelog and lantis in pen with absolutely no vision.
 They are both  a little different  in how they  feel.. being able to tell 
them easily apart, but  I do have to remember which pen I am using since one 
has to be set back to 0, while the other  simply resets to 0 when injected.
 But  if others  using with success, but unable to participate in person 
might be able to  write a bit of a testimony...  would this be helpful?
 Tamera
