Hi Eileen, 

The Prodigy Count-A-Dose is available from the NFB Independence Market. (410) 659-9314. It is also available directly from Prodigy as another lister noted and provided the link.

And as someone previously noted, be certain to obtain the BD 1/2 CC syringes, and make sure the needle length is the 12mm.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Drawing Up Insulin With Syringe?

Hi All, 

Recently I had an issue with my insulin pump and I needed to inject insulin with a syringe.  I no longer have syringes in the house, but did have some insulin pens around so used them for the emergency.

It’s dawned on me that I should really have syringes around for such emergencies. I thought I had an old count-a-dose around but cannot locate it.  Any pointers to where I can locate the device  or something similar. It is not cost-effective to keep pens around because more than likely they will wind up being thrown away for expiring before I ever get to use them. I do need to have a back-up system around and the best way will be syringes with a vial of insulin that I always have in the house and know it is fresh because that’s what gets used in the pump.

Thanks for any pointers or suggestions.

Eileen
