Re: [IPk] Trouble getting Humalog vials?
I have only once had a problem here in Surrey (a Lloyd's chemist). That
was when I was right out, and about to go on holiday, and they didn't
have any vials in stock. I don't see why you can't use a cartridge for
the paradigm as you did the 508, though.
Best wishes,
Pat
(dm 30+, 508 3+)
