They get a lot of Samples.<br /><br />Also, Does GB have high taxes? If so, you are paying for the "free" stuff.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-27055204588569735422011-04-18T16:20:09.426-04:002011-04-18T16:20:09.426-04:00You poor Americans.

No problem got them the next day, its all free over here, including the insulin of course.<br />I thought America was supposed to be the land of the free.<br />Obviously not!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14844556257122952374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-10503460695764202902009-12-05T08:46:42.843-05:002009-12-05T08:46:42.843-05:00Seems this company has a solution for pens without...Seems this company has a solution for pens without a memory function: mobivita.com They have a pouch with a (mechanical) memory function for up to four injections per day.Gustavnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-10659769691589853462009-09-04T21:16:19.045-04:002009-09-04T21:16:19.045-04:00I've been using the HumaPen Luxura HD for well...I've been using the HumaPen Luxura HD for well over a year now. I love this pen! The fact that it dispenses in 1/2 unit doses is very important to me. I like the added control I get by get that bit more of insulin with the worry of to much. I feel this pen is worth the added cost!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937810511907531057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-60928392812976533102009-06-03T12:36:42.849-04:002009-06-03T12:36:42.849-04:00I'd do anything to get hold of a pink one, a b...I'd do anything to get hold of a pink one, a black one or a fancy one.

Lilly Cares is a patient assistance program provided by Eli Lilly and Company through the Lilly Cares Foundation. As part of the company's efforts to provide access to our products for legal U.S. residents regardless of their ability to pay, Lilly created a program to offer free medication, through physicians, to patients who are otherwise unable to obtain our products. Lilly Cares assists patients who are uninsured and whose income is less than 200% of the federal poverty level.<BR/><BR/>http://www.lilly.com/products/access/direct_patient.html#LillyCaresScott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-432603718638340032007-03-28T06:14:00.000-04:002007-03-28T06:14:00.000-04:00Hi,i am Sushant Kathuria.I am 13yrs old.I am diabe...Hi,i am Sushant Kathuria.I am 13yrs old.I am diabetic since last 5yrs.My father and paternal aunt also have this disease.Currently i<BR/>and my paternal aunt are using humapen ergo2.I am from a middle class family.My father uses disposable syringes.I have requested him several times to buy a humapenbut he says that its insulin is too costly for him to afford.So i request the manager of lilly to provide us a humapen and its syringesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-34562679245842824042007-03-13T12:24:00.000-04:002007-03-13T12:24:00.000-04:00Scott, I fail to see the logic here, as well. Why...Scott, I fail to see the logic here, as well. Why go through the trouble and development cost to introduce two different pens, when all the features could have been incorporated into one. If the Luxura HD had the memory, as well as the half-unit capability, I might have considered begging up a coupon from my doctor or CDE, and paying $45 for the pen. But having either of those features by themselves has nowhere near the benefit for me, at least not enough to make me part with my hard earned $$, particularly at the full retail price of about $100.<BR/><BR/>Of interest though, remembering a comment posted here earlier, is the D-Tron pump cartridges being interchangable with Lilly's 3ml cartridge. Hmmmm..... could I get my Lantus into a half-unit Lilly pen?<BR/><BR/>RBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-70719611148868286512007-03-13T10:29:00.000-04:002007-03-13T10:29:00.000-04:00Actually all the need to do is have the ability to...Actually all the need to do is have the ability to divide by 2, which I believe is fairly easy -- I haven't designed a chip in years, but neither operation is that hard!kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17546741217171734579noreply@blogger.com
