Furball was happy & purry this morning. It's nice to see blue again. I hope she doesn't bounce again and surfs safely today. I have to go back to work today. It's hard to go back after being off almost a week.

Morning Carla

WOOT! love that blue this morning. How nice is it to see that? Well done Furball, now surf well for your bean.

Have a great day Carla, I hope all goes well with TBP. It's always tough to go back after a short vacation.

Nice start for Furball. LOve the blues. Have a great day Carla!

 

Re: 01/06 Furball +10.25=116 AMPS=142

Bootiful blues today - yay! I know what you mean about going back to work. I'd rather be going back to bed. Hope Furball stays blue for you today!

Oh what a pretty blue morning for Miss Furball . I hope she surfs the day away for you.
Hi Carla

 

Re: 01/06 Furball +10.25=116 AMPS=142

I called to refill Furball's vial of Lantus and found out the price has increased from $160 to $209. How ridiculous. Is it much different to draw insulin from the pens? Maybe next time I need to see about getting a prescription for pens. There is no coupon for the vials.

 

Re: 01/06 Furball +10.25=116 AMPS=142 Lantus ?

No difference, Carla, except you put the needle into the rubber stop at the end of the pen. And you don't inject air into the pen. It was an easy adjustment for me And I was able to get the pen for $25 at Target, using the coupon, one at a time

 

Re: 01/06 Furball +10.25=116 AMPS=142 Lantus ?

I'm so happy to see Furball back in blue!!!!!

I actually prefer drawing from the pens over the vials. I think they are just easier to handle overall. Jane already gave you the biggest tips. I will just add that there is no need to mess with the end of the pen that has the dosing numbers and click/push button. That is only for dosing in humans.

 

Re: 01/06 Furball +10.25=116 AMPS=142 Lantus ?

Nice AMPS, Furball! Nice blue Ick on the price increase :? I hear you on the going back to work (and I was off 12 days), it's hard to go! :roll: Hope your day goes well.

 

Re: 01/06 Furball +10.25=116 AMPS=142 Lantus ?

I think the pen is easier too, once you adjust to not injecting any air. Our last pen lasted 2 months. Nice blue for Furball this morning.

It looks like a small bounce tonight. Furball was happy & purry & we got in some play time with a shoe string. It looks like things are getting ready to get busy at tbp, so I won't be able to post much during the day. I figured we'd get busy after the holidays.

 

Merry belated Christmas and New Year.

Just a teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, little 'ole yellow bounce :mrgreen:

 

Not a bad bounce at all! I know...the price really jumped. I'm also using the pens with the coupon at Target...what a lifesaver! Have a great evening, Carla!

 

when you make the switch to a pen, you might want to watch the video again on how to draw insulin. it goes over both the pen and the vial. Some pharmacies will sell pens individually - they run about $45ish, depending on pharmacy. Someone mentioned that pharmacies that sell to nursing homes or hospitals will often break up the box of 5 pens and sell the pens individually. that's great for helping the budget!

i also had the $25 coupon that worked for one pen - so my first one cost $18. not too shabby. you can google and look for coupons - i found mine on Lantus.com.

the video is halfway down the page.
