Re: Insulin Pens

We switched to pens about a year ago due to Diabetes Point of Care recommendation.
Several issues:
They take up more room in my fridge.

We use tamper evident bags so we know if they have used the pen - otherwise you are throwing away full pens. IE - More $ going out the door.

Regular insulin only comes in the Innolet system which is HORRIBLE and the Nurses hate it.

We still have to stock vials for drips, TPNs, Maternity, pediatrics, etc.

What a mess.
