So I was speaking with our community health nurse today, and I mentioned in passing the daily struggle it is to administer Rowan's insulin. She told me about something called a BC Inject-Ease Automatic Injector, that the loaded syringe fits into, but this has been designed specifically for people who are needle phobic, or have difficulty reaching the injection site.
I have spent most of the afternoon now contacting various pharmacies, only to learn that the product was discontinued more than seven years ago. I don't know what's more frustrating, my wasted time, or the discomfort in knowing the community nurse is so out of date. Now I'm off to get a pen, as I'm told they hurt less than the old-school syringe. Fingers crossed!
