NovoLog FlexPen Reviews
For Diabetes, Type 2 "I was switched from Humalog flex insulin to Novolog flexpen and I've noticed that since then I have gained 21 pounds and I'm trying my best exercising eating right I'll lose a pound and gain 3 I need help what should I do?"
For Diabetes, Type 1 "I am a Type 1 diabetic and this is the worse insulin. My sugar goes up and I take the insulin and my sugar continues to go up. This is not fast acting or even acting and since CVS Caremark won't pay for the insulin (Apidra) that does work for me because they deem it to expensive and won't approve my prior authorization from my doctor I am stuck with this awful insulin."
For Diabetes, Type 1 "I was recently moved from another short acting insulin to the NovoLog FlexPen prefilled syringes and I have to say that I absolutely don't like having to use this pen. I can never seem to get the pen needles to thread correctly on the pen and the whole thing feels incredibly cheap with very poor allowances. From observation it appears the first unit of each injection is less than a full dose compared to the second or third units in an injection and the poor manufacturing allowances just make for a product that feels cheap, sloppy, and inaccurate. The difficulties in threading the pen needle alone are aggravating enough, but right now I'm locked into this particular brand thanks to insurance (which I have an entirely different tirade about). Everything just feels so loose and cheap and frustrates me every time I have to correct my sugars."
For Diabetes, Type 2 "I have been on it for a little over 1 year and feel it has worked wonders for me."
For Diabetes, Type 2 "Convenient, easy to use....best blood glucose numbers!"
