For Type 2 Diabetes "I was switched from Humalog Flex insulin to NovoLog FlexPen, and I've noticed that since then I have gained 21 pounds. 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 worst insulin. My sugar goes up, and I take the insulin, and my sugar continues to go up.

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."
