Went to the doctor and got insulin

I almost didn't go to my appointment today. I knew i would get insulin, and my brain said, bring it on it will help, but my stubborn heart was dragging the denial anchor.

i now i have an insulin pen to use one time at night, i am to eat some protein then stick my self.

the insulin lasts 24 hours.

My questions, dear friends,

1. Should i have a schedule, such that i eat protein then stick then relax in my bed?
2. then stick about the same time the next day?

I was able to purchase the pen and the 39. box of needles. whew. i am not working and have no insurance. I was comtemplating selling my blood. Maybe i should advertize my kidney??

1. how do i store and care for the needles so i can use them a couple of times?
If i use 10 whatever amount of insulin that is, will the pen last a couple of weeks?

I thank you for your comments, just think, encourage me enough so i don't just roll over and give up.

on your medicine some where there should be the name of the company that makes that drug. i would go online and see if there is a program to get your medicine for free. some companies let people with low income get their medicine shipped to their house for free with a dr's prescription.also here is a web site u can go to so you can print a discount card for medicines you can get up to 75 percent off. EVERYONE is allowed to use this program also they can mail you a plastic card for free to use at the pharmacy. www.pharmacydiscountnetwork.com or you can call this number 1-877-513-1935. good luck hun. they mailed me 3 of these cards. they do work.
