Zoe replied to DanK's discussion 'Apidra shortage - anyone having luck? How long did you wait?'"Wow, bad timing, Dan! You might have your in laws or someone check in the nearest town, or where you're flying into to see if they have Apidra pens in the pharmacy. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I actually started using Apidra in pens when I…"

Zoe replied to DanK's discussion 'Apidra shortage - anyone having luck? How long did you wait?'"I hadn't heard about this shortage, Dan; I use Apidra in vials for my pump. Is the shortage just in the pens? Wouldn't it be easier for you to switch to vial and syringe if so, rather than dealing with the switch to a different fast-acting…"
DanK replied to DanK's discussion 'Apidra shortage - anyone having luck? How long did you wait?'"Yeah, the website says 1st quarter 2012. I'm wondering if anyone on this site has actually been successful in getting the pens before then."

Hi all,My pharmacy contacted me today saying that they were unable to get my Apidra due to lack of availability, and there is no listed expected date for when it'll be available. I have 3 pens left, and they expire in March, but I have a feeling they'll last a bit longer than that. However, I'm going on a 6 week vacation starting at the end of March and would need to get my next batch of insulin before then. I've been on Humalog and had some issues, though I haven't tried Novolog yet, which…See More

DanK replied to Janie G's discussion 'Very active and newly diabetic...where do I begin?' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Hi Janie - everyone is different, so you have to test often and experiment.

Hey T1s!!!
Whether you were diagnosed back in the day when it was "Juvenile Diabetes;" you are a newly diagnosed college freshman; or you were diagnosed well into your second career, the reality is that 85% of those living with type 1 diabetes are over 18!
Without diabetes camps, it's hard to meet other adults living with T1D with whom you can share information, ask questions, and get support.
That's why Beer & Basals is for You!
Beer & Basals is a casual gathering for adults with T1D who want to get to know others living with T1D and expand their circle of support. Beer & Basals will be hosted by Carb DM volunteers Breanne Harris and Katie Craft.
Our first meeting is coming up on Monday, February 27, 7 - 9 pm. Join us at Crepevine in Palo Alto (367 University Ave)! Hope to see you there!
Katie

- That's great to hear! That swelling thing sounded pretty funky. Wow, you need less Lantus than Levemir. I wonder why...
- At 9:19am on October 23, 2010, caprifoglio said…
- Dan, I meant to ask -- how is the Lantus working out? No more sores? Have you figured out the right basal rate for it yet?
Hope all is well...
