"I volunteer at my hospital, and this year, the policy is all employees, contractors, and volunteers either get a flu shot or they start wearing a mask at the hospital beginning November 1. I got an extra shot in the arm this afternoon."

gentgeen commented on Phill Dill's blog post 'Multi-Injects'"When I get the situation where the current pen is just short of the needed dose, I just use the new pen, and keep the almost used up one for a smaller meal or correction dose. Especially as I use up a pen of Humalog in about 16 days, there's no…"
Zolar1 replied to gentgeen's discussion 'Humalog pen vs syringes' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"pulling out for birth control = pulling out for injection adjustment?
Hmm..
And I thought you wanted to leave things 'in' as long as you can?"

gentgeen replied to MissKitka's discussion 'Who uses alcohol swabs?'"I have no problem using alcohol prep swabs for injection sites and vial/pen wiping. I don't bother with BG tests, as I don't change the lancet very often anyway, so what would be the point?
What I don't like is feeling…"
gentgeen replied to Barbie's discussion 'No Box Recipes for Working Moms' in the group We want real food!"Lentil stew. Depending on the variety of lentils, about half of the carbs are fiber. I usually combine two parts lentils with one part grain (rice, barley, teff, etc.) to get a complete protein. It's ready in about 45 minutes, but most of that…"
