Where do I get my new insulin pen from?

The places where you can get a new insulin pen if the previous one has broken down are: the clinic where the person is treated, the manufacturer of the insulin used or the pharmacy. Not all pharmacies have free patient pens in stock. Insulin companies are engaged in the manufacture and distribution of reusable insulin pens. Patients who are recommended by their doctor to use insulin, which is available in so-called "cartridges" (in this case Novorapid Penfill), should receive the pen free of charge in a diabetes clinic or in a hospital ward. It is good to have two pens in case one of them fails. If the pen we use is damaged, we can get a new one in the clinic or contact the customer service department of the company whose insulin we use (in this case, Novo Nordisk, which informs on its website where you can find pens in a given province: https://www.dann.edu.pl/mapa-wstrzykiwaczy/mapa-wstrzykiwaczy-novonordisk.html). I remind you that the needles in the pen should be changed after each injection of insulin. They can be purchased fully paid without a prescription, online - also via GdziePoLek with home delivery (option in the links - "add" next to the cart). The links also allow you to compare prices. From January 1, 2022, pen needles were included in the reimbursement list of the Ministry of Health. The indication for reimbursement is diabetes that requires insulin administration. During the year, the patient is entitled to up to 4 packages of needles (each package contains 100 needles). To receive reimbursed needles, you need a prescription from a doctor (a situation analogous to glucometer strips). https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/48855/igly-do-penow-bd-micro-fine-plus-igla/apteki?pvid=96330#internetowe https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/61649/insupen-igly-do-penow-pic-indolor-igla/apteki?pvid=256079#internetowe https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/115594/iglessy-igly-do-penow-igla/apteki?pvid=272134#internetowe We wrote more about needles and pens here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/igly-do-penow-peny-nakluwacze-i-lancety And here we show how to properly administer insulin with a pen:

u mnie glukometry mozesz miec i 10 ale peny na allegro kupuje

gdy odmawiają pobrać imię nazwisko placówkę jaka i niech podadzą przyczyny odmowy a potem kontaktować się z głównym dyżurnym NFZ danego województwa i dzwonnic i przedstawić sprawę
