Hi all
It has been a while since I have responded here. I used to have to shoot with the old syringe. And that made me uncomfortable. But since the pens have come out it is almost ignored. I just open the end and stick it in my tummy and go on with life. I also have the pump, but if I have to bolus over 12 units I use the pen instead. Also the pump beeps. Can you imagine her complaining due to having 16 beeps go by to calculate and then 16 beeps to confirm? That would probably make her upset from the noise.
A long time a go when I would go to the men’s room to shoot up, prior to the pen, I felt like I was doing drugs or hiding to do drugs. I think it is much better to just take care of it in public. The rest rooms are always too filthy. But when I was younger I obeyed what I was told to do.
When I was a child I had to use a glass syringe with a stainless steal needle that I had to sharpen every week. That would have been really a mess with that lady watching that type of injection.
Anyway good job., You stated it just the way I would have.
Chalk one up for us. Also the ADA has great lawyers that would have taken AT&T to court about medical supplies. I would never chance my health for some ignorant person’s ideas.
