[Diabetes-talk] Fw: Insulin pen study at the NFB Convention

[cheryl echevarria]

someone who uses lantus solostar and humulog, you can tell how many units listening the the clicks then using a syringe, the syringe is worse then using the pen.

  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
