Have You Used An Injection Pen? Would You?

Interesting! Will take part. I do not use an insulin pen at the moment, however. But always looking to contribute!

when I was dxd, I was in the hospital with a serious problem not related t diabetes.  But in the hospital, everyone gets insulin.  So when I was released, it was with an insulin prescription.  The pharmacist told me to ask for an insulin pen.  It was so much easier!  Just dial the correct dose and inject.  The needle was so small. I didn't feel it..  Now I use a weekly injectable and the needle is considerably larger.

I use an injection pen. I've lost a lot of weight so I use the shortest pen needle that you can get. I find this works best for me. Taking injections are fast and easy. I started out with injection needles and a vial of insulin. Because of the length of the needles I acquired a phobia about taking my injections. It led to not taking injections when I was supposed to and some trips to the hospital. Diabetic Keto Acidosis is very scary and dangerous. If I didn't have someone with me I would have gone into a coma. The Kwik Pen has been a God send for me. I just make sure to check my glucose after I eat and then take my shot. I've taken injections prior to eating before and my glucose level went so low I once passed out. Just don't do that..
