Apparently Novolog changed their packaging from blue to orange on their boxes. So I was expecting to see a styrofoam container filled with 12 blue boxes, but instead, I see 12 orange boxes.

So after a few minutes of carefully comparing old and new boxes, I was satisfied. Same stuff... new packaging.

But you know that feeling you get for a split second, when you are like Oh #$%@!
Ok, so it wasn't just me. I picked up my first prescription of it about 3 weeks ago, but didn't switch till recently since I had 2 vials of Humalog left (I still have one for backup incase I get a bad reaction to Humalog.) When I picked up the box I thought something looked different on it and then I compared it to a box I had at home. Yup, same stuff, same box, just a different color stripe on it.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
