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

[Mike Freeman]

It might be. I certainly wouldn't dis the idea of testimonials. I'm 
crafting letters to the various manufacturers that should go out this 
week that will protest the bogus warnings (Lilly and Novo Nordisk) and 
praise Sanofi Aventis for having no warnings. I also use humalog and 
lantus. I don't think the problem is with the engineers but with legal 
eagles.

Let's se what sort of a response I get and we'll proceed from there.

Mike

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?
