[Diabetes-talk] Possible Solution for Fixed Dose

[Mike Freeman]

Colleen:

As I say, I'd argue with the insurance purveyors to get pens at almost any
cost. And I'd prefer to give myself multiple injections to get a dose rather
than depend upon a device such as we're discussing. But I will say no more
so I don't get in trouble. (grin)

Hi Mike,
I do agree that the Safe Shot wouldn't be helpful if someone had to give
themselves a dose which was not already se on a Safe Shot Device.
At least for the most part someone could still be independent.
Maybe having the ability to give themselves Insulin after Syringues are set
by a doctor or nurse would solve most of the problem.
Since the devices are really reasonably priced it might be possible for
someone to have an extra Safe Shot with an amount ta person could use in
case they needed to add some insulin or give less at some point.
I was thinking maybe someone could have a Safe Shot with 25 units as an
example.
For a totally blind person some tactile marking or special place for storage
would be a good way to keep track of which Safe Shot was for what dose.
I do not take Insulin but am just trying to help Dawn and anyone else who
would benefit from this information.
