My clikstar pen has starting misfiring so I don't know how much glargine I'm having.

GP says they can't find that pen on their system.

Anyone use a different pen for glargine?

I'm going to ring my nurse for a pen as yet again my gp is useless
 
Laura - you need to always have 2 of every pen - we had a problem with our clikstar too-a while back and the hospital changed it straight away-we have 2 night pens and 3 day pens
 
Your GP is useless - I can find it and I'm not a doctor!

You could ask him/her to look for the following PIP codes:

Silver - 354 8559
Blue - 354 8542

Thank you, I'll ring them with the pip code.

They've taken my pens, syringes, hypo stop, ketone sticks off my repeat coz I've not had them in the past 6 f**king months
 
Laura, I think that's the fault of the computer system at the surgery, it IS what happens, unfortunately.

When you see you have not ordered for 6 months, go and see your doc instead of just ordering it as you normally would and just breeze in and say, I need repeats of whatever and can you renew this this this this this and this please while you're at it? LOL

I'll have to do that in June as my Hypostop will be out of date by then, and it dropped off my scrip 6 months after I got it in April 2011, after binning the previous one!

But the surgeries must choose to be annoying like this, it isn't something automated by the computer.

I've got an item on my repeat (lancets) that hasn't been ordered since 10.5.2011 😱🙄
 
I have a prescription review once a year when I go through the items on my repeat saying what I need to have still. Nothing is taken off without me knowing. What has happened to me thought is that the council won't replace my sharps bin because it has taken me over 2 years to fill it. In that time they have outsourced the service to another company and my details weren't included so I have to ask my GP to refer me again. It's a 5 litre bin FGS! 😱
 
You really DO have to change your surgery.
 
I have a prescription review with the new specialist diabetes nurse (she only specialises in T2 so god help me) on thursday
