    Comment:
    Humalog KwikPern 200 unit insulin products have been defective for years and continue being defective. Since too much or too little fast-acting Insulin can cause death, this is a very serious matter; this is over and above the huge financial loss incurred by unsuspecting patients at your retail price of over $1,000 per two pens.

    The Humalog pen is really hard to use for people with arthritis in their hands. The button is difficult to push enough to get the right amount. I have bruised myself trying to push it enough to get the correct dose. It doesn't click for the units, so you have to take the pen out, only to discover, it didn't deliver it all, so you have to repeat to get the correct dosage.

    Found out late in life that I was a diabetic, started out with Metformin and then quickly moved to pen form insulin. I hated having to do the four times a day shots along with six times a day finger pricks. My doctor suggested I think about using an insulin pump. I went to the required classes for the pump and got it. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I use about 200 units of huma ... Show Full Comment
