Noticed something in my Lantus

[Mumpie_olgran]

Hi
I just noticed this morning before my basal that I can see a little floater in the transparent window of my Lantus pen. It's a bit hard to describe but looks a bit a very small petal or maybe a fake fingerprint if that makes any sense. It's not huge maybe 4 or 5 mm diameter and very thin.

Anyway point is I'm unsure whether that indicates contamination or a faulty batch or something? It's v early on in a new pen with the new only being Saturday just gone

Any experience on this or thoughts? I do have other pens in reserve which I coukd just head for now and bin this one

Thanks all

Edit: think I've managed to include a photo. It's the bit that's hovering over the middle zero in the hundred unit marker, although I'm not sure how good the picture quality is

There definitely looks to be something there, which shouldn’t be there. I think I’d change to a new cartridge, if I were you, and take the one with the bit in back to the pharmacy and show them. Hey might want to report it, in case it’s a problem with the batch.

Thank you, yes having just sent the note, it actually felt obvious to me. Not sure what I'd be hoping to achieve by sticking it out with that cartridge
Thanks

I’d stop using that pen and start a fresh one.

Not sure if you want to tell your pharmacy so that they can report it with the Lot no etc?
