    We finally got our labs back from the our new Vet. Dude has gained 2.5lbs in 2 months but blood work came back basically the same........he has diabetes, everything else checks out good. No underlying issues. Nothing we didn't already know. Good thing though, we are switching from Vetsulin to Lantus. Have the script in our email now along with the u100 needles. We have a few days left of the Vetsulin, we are in Florida, where is the best place to get it and what should I get? Script just says Glargine Lantus Quanity 1, 3 refills by 2022. Thanks in advance

    Most of us buy from Marks Marine Pharmacy up in Vancouver, much cheaper. Since you're in Florida I'd pay for the extra ice packs and such

    Most of us use Lantus, . Lantus is expensive in the US so we buy it from Marks Marine in Canada
    We buy the 5 pack of solostar pens they will probably last you for over a year
    With Lantus you use U-100 syringes with HALF UNIT MARKINGS
    so you can increase or decrease by 0.25 units

    With the pen you can only adjust by whole units, that's why we use syringes to insert in the little gray rubber stopper and draw out the insulin from there
    The expiration dates will probably be 2022 or 2023 just keep them in the middle shelf in the fridge.
    After that you will not need another script to reorder
    Call them, you can probably just send them the script

    Just take the cap off the pen and use a U100, 3/10ml, 31 gauge insulin syringe to pull the insulin out of the pen!
