"I have been using humalog and now insulin lispro for 15 years. I have no issue with the insulin but the pens leave much to be desired. They skip, jam and don't work well with BD pen tips. The quality of these pens is nothing like the pen I use for Levimir. I have never had a problem with a Levimir pen. Lilly should be ashamed of this product. If I could change, I would."
