    I checked my local Walmart, Target and CVS and none carry the u100 with 1/2 unit markings. Where do you usually order them from?

    I get mine from American Diabetes Wholesale but I know others that have also ordered them from Hocks.com as well

    Did you ask if they could order them for you? My local Target pharmacy always used to order them for me.

    wonder how many one person can buy at one time. my walmart has always had them every time i go in there to get some. too bad some of us that have them readily available couldn't buy up a bunch and ship them out to some that have a hard time getting their hands on them. i did get 2 boxes this last time instead of 1, so as to lengthen the time between visits to the pharmacy hopefully. seems anymore i'm in there every other week getting a refill on a kitty med. LOL!! though if i went in and asked for 20 boxes of syringes it might raise a red flag :lol:

    They said they could order them but the supplier is experiencing a shortage or something and they would be around $35 which seemed high to me. I will probably just order some from online. I was just hoping to get them faster so I can lower harry's dose easier...

    When I got mine off American Diabetes Wholesale I think I got them in about 2-3 days, I know it wasn't more than 4 days. They are really quick about their standard shipping. But yeah $35.00 is pretty high. The last ones I ordered ran me $16 for 100

    Well yes and no...those are designed for U100 insulin, but can be used with U40 insulin you just have to use a conversion chart. Musette is a Lantus girl with is a U100 insulin.

    However, if you use those U100 syringes and the conversion chart, which I don't right off hand have a link to, but I know someone will over in the PZI ISG. It is easier for you to make smaller increases and decreases.

    I use these Monojects The ones you linked to only have 60 per box, the Monojects are 100. If you can afford to buy the 3 pack they are only $13.50 a box.

    Please check out the supply closet as there are 2 boxes of u40s for free. Only pay for the shipping.

    If you're running really low, you might try Walgreens -- I ususally get mine there, but they're $17 for a box of 100.
