[Diabetes-talk] update on Denial of Insulin Coverage Count a dose

[Blindhands at aol.com]

The Count a dose is not the answer for all.  Before I started using  the 
pen and the Count A Dose was not being manufactured I was on a dosage of  
Lantis that I used a 1 cc syringe.  Luckily I had an old Count A Dose that  
accomodated the 1 cc syringe.  From what I have heard the new Count a Dose  is 
available in the 1/2 cc size only.  Is this correct?
 
So now a diabetic would have to take 2 injections causing expense for extra 
 needles per month and more possible problems with injection sites.  
 
Thank God I no longer need that Lantis dosage as I am on 44 units now  
instead of 80 units, but that is close to the full syringe size.  So I am  happy 
with the pen.
