[Diabetes-talk] New User of Count a Dose

[Joy Stigile]

Hi Sarah,
Like Mike mentioned the BD Company syringe fits the best with the
Count-A-Dose.  It is very easy to use.  I have use it for a long time.  When
you want to make sure there are no bubbles in the syringe put a few units
inside the syringe and push it back and forth about 3 times and that will
get rid of the bubbles for you.

Subject: [Diabetes-talk] New User of Count a Dose

Hello,

I need to take an injectible medication for awhile, so just purchased the
Prodigy count a dose sold by the NFB. I have taken injectibles in the past
by having a sighted person draw up the correct dose of med for me to inject,
but this time decided to try the count a dose so that I can learn to draw up
the medication myself. 

I know the device holds 1/2 cc (50 unit) syringes, but I wanted to find out
if it requires a particular brand?  Also where have people been able to
purchase the syringes? The device is scheduled to arrive today or tomorrow,
so I wanted to go pick the syringes up by then at a local store instead of
ordering online.

Thanks for any help,

Sarah
