Injector pens, who's using 'em?

[not-today-scale]

Still using insulin syringes here too. Read too many accounts of pen dosing going wrong to feel comfortable switching. The pens look easier but the precision from a syringe gives me more confidence in what I'm actually injecting.

International travel is actually where pens shine compared to vials - less to explain at security, no reconstitution, and no temperature sensitivity concern with pre-loaded syringes. The main thing to know is whether the pen style matches the dose you're running, since some formulations don't come in pen format. What country are you heading to and how long is the trip?

The insulin syringe preference is completely valid - they're precise, low-waste, and easy to source. The pen format is a convenience upgrade but not a clinical one. If the current setup works, there's no reason to change it.
